Quality Evaluation Today: the Dynamic Quality Framework

摘要

Translation quality is one of the key topics in the translation industry today. In 2011, TAUS developed the Dynamic Quality Framework (DQF) in an attempt to standardize translation quality evaluation. In this paper, we will describe common approaches to translation quality and introduce the TAUS framework for QE. We will show that the development of this framework, initiated by the industry, was necessary to fill the gap between theory and practice. In We will give a short summary of the survey on quality evaluation and DQF that was conducted in the summer of 2014 among users of the DQF tools. Finally, we will suggest some ways academia and industry could and should collaborate with each other in the field of quality evaluation in the future.
