Hi everybody,

I've started working with Trados recently and I feel like I'll never make it.
What should I produce when asked to review a project, what types of reports?
I followed instructions to review, but I got a very short report (Open for review, verification + QA checker).
Could anyone help?
It may be useful for other Trados beginners, too.

Thank you.

Hi Aurelia,

Open the project as usual. When you right click on the file (in "files") the second option displayed is "Open for review".

Did you check the QA settings? Aug 21, 2020

Hi Aurelia,

A short report can mean that there weren't many errors or that there weren't many types of errors selected that Trados should check for.

To set your selections, you have to click on each tab under QA checker
It expands that tab and you can select what you want Trados to check.
