#Virtaal translation update#

Once you update the document, the changes will instantly become available to all project participants for viewing and reusing. You can save a lot of time and effort if you check the translations using a QA tool and give feedback to your translators based on the results using the comments or chat. There is no need to wait until all the translators have finished working on the project. Remember that you can export and import XLIFF files at any moment. Verifika, Xbench and lexiQA are the most suitable for this task, but you can use other QA solutions, such as QA Distiller. Import your previously exported XLIFF files to your preferred QA tool and after you’re done checking, re-import the resulting files back to Smartcat.

You can use external QA tools to ensure that the translations completed in Smartcat deliver impeccable quality. Remember that you may or may not confirm the changed segments when importing the reviewed files back to Smartcat - for example, if you need to make a few more edits after that. In cases like this, the XLIFF export feature comes in handy. We know it’s not always possible to bring other people to your Smartcat account, which would be an all-round better solution. Some customers require that the translation be externally reviewed by their in-house or in-country team before the final layout is made. Even if this is a multi-user project, your actions will not affect other participants’ progress. After you finish, simply import the files back to Smartcat.
