Facts read from this source
-
Qe default availability Report an error
“Availability: Enabled by default for new projects, opt-in for existing ones. Requires enabled machine/AI translation.”
-
Qe scoring Report an error
“Quality Estimation (QE) lets an AI evaluator score every AI-produced translation with a confidence estimate between 0 and 1, together with a short reason.”
-
Qe scope Report an error
“Only AI translations are scored at translation time (traditional machine translation is not).”
-
Qe provider Report an error
“Scoring uses the same AI provider that produced the translation: with your own API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral AI, Anthropic) the scoring runs on your key; with the built-in Locize AI it consumes AI tokens like any other Locize AI usage.”
-
Qe threshold Report an error
“The needs-review threshold defaults to 0.7. A different threshold between 0 and 1 can currently not be stored for a project.”
-
Qe review AI workflow Report an error
“Low-confidence AI translations (score below the threshold, or with a major issue found) become pending reviews, even in languages that don't have review proposals enabled.”
-
Qe critique categories Report an error
“Routed proposals carry a critique: issue categories (accuracy, fluency, terminology, style) with severity and a short note. When the evaluator can clearly improve the translation, it also includes a suggested revision you can apply with one click.”
-
Qe score removal Report an error
“When an AI translation is edited by a human, re-translated, or replaced from translation memory, its confidence score is removed automatically.”
-
Qe not mqm Report an error
“QE does not produce span-level MQM error annotations, MQM scorecards, or certified MQM scores, and Locize does not claim MQM conformance.”
-
Qe score doubling Report an error
“Scoring roughly doubles the AI calls of a translation run. On very large namespaces the backend caps scoring per language and saves the remaining translations unscored.”
-
Qe scores not published Report an error
“Scores are editor metadata: they are not included in your published translation files.”
-
Qe provenance export Report an error
“Review decisions preserve the confidence score at decision time in the segment history; the provenance export (project overview, context menu of a version, language or namespace) packages this evidence as CSV and JSON for audits.”
-
AI review feature Report an error
“AI Review applies the same evaluator to existing translations of any origin and turns the doubted ones into review proposals with a suggested fix.”
-
Qe EU AI act Report an error
“Routing low-confidence AI translations into documented human review also supports the human-review exemption path of the EU AI Act's transparency rules: see Running an Article 50(4)-compatible review workflow (legal background in the explainer).”
-
Qe complements checks Report an error
“Quality Estimation complements the deterministic checks & issues, it does not replace them: broken placeholders or untranslated fragments are best caught by those checks.”
-
Qe styleguide glossary Report an error
“A Styleguide and Glossary improve the evaluator's judgement the same way they improve translations.”
