Frequently asked questions.

It means that PrOOfessor covers the whole quality process, not only the search for errors. Most QA tools stop at a list of issues. PrOOfessor also covers what happens next: reviewing findings, resolving them with linguists and validating the corrected files.

PrOOfessor is for freelance linguists and reviewers, language service providers (LSPs) and in-house localization departments that need consistent, documented translation quality. Plans range from a single linguist on one language pair to teams with multiple users and Enterprise agreements.

PrOOfessor is developed by Perenchio Translations, an Italian translation and localization agency with more than 20 years of experience. The platform brings the quality control of a professional agency into software. Read more about us.

PrOOfessor works with bilingual translation files, including the XLIFF-based formats produced by the main CAT tools. Glossaries can be added for terminology checks.

Translation quality assurance (QA) is the process of checking a translation before delivery for objective errors, such as missing text, wrong numbers or broken tags, and for linguistic issues like accuracy, terminology and style.

Automated QA checks are deterministic rules that compare source and target, while linguistic review evaluates meaning, fluency and style. Automated checks catch objective errors such as numbers, tags, punctuation and glossary terms. PrOOfessor combines both in one workflow.

MQM (Multidimensional Quality Metrics) is a widely used framework for describing translation errors by category and severity. Typical categories include accuracy, fluency, terminology and style. MQM makes quality measurable and comparable across projects and vendors.

An MQM-style AI review is a bilingual review performed by AI that reports each issue as a structured finding with an MQM-style category and severity. Each finding is then checked and resolved by a linguist.

Structured QA/MQM reports turn subjective feedback into documented evidence of translation quality. They help LSPs explain quality to clients, compare vendors and track improvement over time.

PrOOfessor runs 21 deterministic QA checks that never consume AI-reviewed words. They include missing targets, untranslated content, numbers, placeholders, tags, acronyms, URLs, email, currency, units, dates and times, trademarks, spacing, repeated words, punctuation, capitalization, bracket and quote balance, consistency, required glossary terms and do-not-translate terms.
