The Resolve errors and warnings tab provides a unified view of all errors and warnings in the document, project or translation memory. You can also correct the errors and warnings straight from this tab.

How to begin

You can invoke the Resolve errors and warnings tab by clicking the lower part of the Quality Assurance icon and then choose Run QA on the Review ribbon tab, then choose Resolve Errors and Warnings, or you can automatically invoke the tab from the Run QA dialog by choosing Proceed to resolve warnings after QA. You can also invoke the Resolve errors and warnings tab during document export, if a document contains errors.

Scope

If you invoke the Resolve errors and warnings tab from the Review ribbon tab, you need to select the scope of the operation first

•Project: Select this radio button to display all erroneous segments in the project.

•Selected documents: Select this radio button to display all erroneous segments only in the documents you selected in the Translations pane of Project home.

•Open documents: Select this radio button to display all erroneous segments only in the documents that are currently open.

•Active document: Select this radio button to display all erroneous segments only in the active document.

•From cursor: Select this radio button to display all erroneous segments only in the active document downwards from the cursor. This option is only available if you start the dialog with a translation document open and active in memoQ.

•Selection: Select this radio button to display all erroneous segments only in the selected segments of the active document. This option is only available if you start the dialog with a translation document open and active in memoQ.

•Work on views: Select this check box if you want memoQ to check segments in views.

The list of errors and warnings

The lower part of the Resolve errors and warnings tab shows a list of segments where an error or a warning is encountered. The columns mean the following:

•The first column shows whether the issue is an error (red exclamation mark) or a warning (lightning).

•Document: This column indicates the name of the document that contains the issue.

•Row: This column indicates the number of the segment in which the error/warning was encountered.

•Code: This column indicates the internal code of the issue.

•Description: This column indicates the textual description of the issue.

•Ignore: Check the appropriate check boxes in this column to ignore the related warning. Errors cannot be ignored.

Different colors indicate different statuses:

•Errors are displayed in red.

•Ignored warnings are displayed in light blue.

•Corrected and confirmed errors and warnings are displayed in green.

•Segments that are not available for editing are displayed in grey. This happens if you filter a document while the Resolve errors and warnings tab is open.

You can set the following options to control the view:

•Refresh data: Updates the contents of the list. This makes sense if you keep the Resolve errors and warnings tab open, and manipulate the documents in their tabs as well.

•Export report: Exports a HTML file of the QA report. The report will always contain all the current QA warnings, and not the filtered list you may be seeing on the screen.

•Hide ignored items: Use this check box to hide the items you have ignored. Only current issues are displayed.

•Hide warnings: Use this check box if you only want to correct the errors.

•Confirm: Use this link or press Ctrl+Enter to confirm the segment where the selected warning or error occurred. This will write the contents of the segment into the primary translation memory.

•Confirm without update: Use this link or press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm the segment where the selected warning or error occurred. This will not write the contents of the segment into the primary translation memory.

If you double-click one of the lines, the document opens and the cursor is positioned to the segment in question.

Note: If you want to group the same errors and warnings together, click on Code in the header.

Editing interface

Use the interface above the list to edit the selected segment. You can edit the segment as if you were in the translation document view. The edited segment changes in the translation document too. You can confirm the segment, or confirm it without updating.

The section at the top contains the following information on the current segment:

•Location: This field indicates the document name, the language and the row number.

•Description: This field indicates the textual description of the issue and some details if available.

•Correction: For certain issues memoQ can suggest a correction. It is displayed here if available.

Resolve errors and warnings in a translation memory

If you have selected the option Check translation memory in the Run QA dialog, the Resolve errors and warnings tab looks slightly different, and you cannot select the scope of the QA process in the dialog shown above. The tab section that is different is located right above the list view of all errors and warnings:

•Refresh data: Updates the contents of the list. This makes sense if you keep the Resolve errors and warnings tab open, and manipulate the documents in their tabs as well.

•Export report: Exports a HTML file of the QA report.

•Hide ignored items: Use this check box to hide the items you have ignored. Only current issues are displayed.

•Hide warnings: Use this check box if you only want to correct the errors.

•Check entry again: Use this link or press Ctrl+Enter to re-run QA on the current row and see if there are any new errors or warnings in it.

Navigation

You can navigate the list using the mouse or the keyboard.

•Move to previous item: Moves up in the list. Key shortcut: Ctrl+Up arrow.

•Move to next item: Moves down in the list. Key shortcut: Ctrl+Down arrow.

•Ignore and move to next: Makes memoQ ignore the warning, and moves down in the list.

•Ignore all warnings of this kind: Use this command if a certain warning does not make sense and you want to ignore all occurrences of a warning without having to re-run the QA.

Clarify ignore: With some warnings, memoQ may ask a question. For example, if a tag is missing from the translation, you may ignore every warning that complains about that specific tag - or you can ignore all warnings that complain about missing tags. In this case, memoQ shows the Ignore all warnings of this kind window, where you can make your choice.

•Apply automatic correction: Insert memoQ's suggestion into the segment.
