Abstract

Various embodiments of systems, computer program products, and methods to assess translation quality are described herein. In an aspect, a translated text is received during translation of content from a source language to a target language. The received translated text is detected as an incorrect translation by analyzing a number of quality checks in a translation quality algorithm. An error category corresponding to the incorrect translation is determined based on a root cause of the incorrect translation. Further, a counter is incremented in a corresponding error category. When the counter exceeds a threshold, an action to prevent submission of the translation is triggered based on a combined error score. The combined error score is a combined weighted error score from error categories which have exceeded their respective thresholds.
