Subject: Translation services Evaluation of translation output General guidance


This document gives guidance on the evaluation of human translation
output, post-edited machine translation output, and unedited machine
translation output. It also provides guidance on the qualifications
and competences of evaluators. The role of sampling is also discussed
in this document.

This document focuses on an analytic translation evaluation approach
using error types and penalty points configured to produce an error
score and a quality rating.
A further focus is the human evaluation of translation output only.
This document follows an approach designed to reflect minimum
complexity. The rationale behind this approach is to keep this
document applicable for as many users as possible in the translation
sector.
The guidance provided in this document can also support the evaluation
of source texts intended for translation.
This document is applicable to translation service providers (TSPs),
including individual translators, translation companies or in-house
translation services, their clients and other interested parties in
the translation sector, such as translator education and training
institutions.
