When you find an issue that you wish to fix, you can select it in Word, press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to find the segment in Xbench and then press Ctrl+E to open the segment with the typo in the native editor, such as Trados Studio or memoQ. when English prefers 'the 17th century' or 'the 18th century' and so on. Again, it comes up as a false positive in a mechanical check.
In other words, there must be a good reason for everything X-bench flags as a possible error in your translation. With luck the PMs at the agency can check without worrying you, as in the case of the figures. One agency stated that a proofreader should "should deliver a commented ApSIC Xbench report (or a report fromĪ similar tool). The report should contain false positives only.". I am only vaguely familiar with the tool (I have been using it mainly for checking terminology consistency so far), so I am not sure what they meant by that. Could anyone explain to me what false positives are and what such a report should look like?Ī "false positive" is something that the tool shows as an error, but which is not really an error. If the report that you should send to the agency should show only false positives, then it means that you should run the test, then fix all real errors, and then run the test again, so that the only "errors" that show up in the report are not really errors. If the client did not give you a prescribed glossary in a compatible format, then I think the Xbench report should be run on non-term related tests only.
This means, run all of "Basic" and all of "Content" except for "Key Term Mismatch".
