Description: Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) is a framework for analytic Translation Quality Evaluation (TQE). It can be applied to both human translation and machine translation. As part of a quality management system, MQM can be used to identify quality issues in translation products, classify them against a shared, open and standardized error typology, and generate quality

As part of a quality management system, MQM can be used to identify quality issues in translation products, classify them against a shared, open and standardized error typology, and generate quality measures that can be used to gauge how well the translation product meets quality requirements.

The standardized MQM approach generates structured data that reduce subjectivity, enhance comparability, and greatly improve communication and cooperation among the different stakeholders. Importantly, this process enables implementers not only to focus on detection of translation errors, but also to use the evaluation data for error and root cause analysis and quality improvement of the production processes involved.
