Can I use Regular expression to identify whether or not 2 different segments source has the same translation

Hi, I would perform a Regex under QA Checker 3.0\Regular expression to check if two different segments source text has the same translation or not, the translation is done from fr-CA to en-CA, is that possible?

  • The simplest and fastest solution would be Xbench: https://www.xbench.net/
    It can check for inconsistences both in source and in target.

  • Hi Jerzy,

    I'm a fan of XBench... but why would it be simpler and faster than using the built in default? Is it a reliability thing or something else? Also means you need to purchase this third party tool so if you don't own it yet it won't be simple or fast ;-)

  • What a timing... Yes, reliability is a problem, as I discovered yesterday:

    Personally I LOVE built-in solutions and HATE using 3rd party tools like Xbench... but this problem is a BIG minus :(

    EDIT:
    Ah, and the built-in inconsistency check actually checks for TARGET inconsistencies only, while the question is about the opposite.

  • Dear Paul

    Studio can only check inconsistency in target. And it will NOT report such errors (which is a pity - it should be possible to ignore things like punctuation marks, tags with spaces and similar):

    English German
    This is a car Das ist ein Auto
    This is a car. Das ist ein Fahrzeug.
    This is a car.<tag> Das ist ein Auto.<tag>
    This is a car. <tag> Das ist ein Fahrzeug. <tag>

    ErrorSpy will report these as inconsistent, while Studio won't. I am quite certain Xbench would do that too.

    And Studio won't report that, while Xbench will:

    English German
    This is a car. Das ist ein Auto.
    This is a vehicle. Das ist ein Auto.
    This is an airplane. Das ist ein Auto.

    Best regards

    Jerzy
