In-country review tool

The in-country review (ICR) is a web-based tool for reviewing translations in context. It lets subject matter experts, also known as in-country reviewers, check translations for accuracy, flow, and context directly in their target language.

Reviewers can check and approve translations directly on the web interface, without needing to install or use a translation tool.

Using the ICR tool

How you use ICR depends on your role:

How does it work?

A typical workflow looks like this:

  1. Set up in-country reviewers

    A memoQ TMS administrator or project manager creates new users and adds them to the In-country reviewers group. They can do this in memoQ or memoQweb.

    You can also add existing users to the group, but when you do this, they lose their membership in all other built-in groups.

  2. Assign documents to reviewers

    A project manager assigns documents to the in-country reviewers who need to review them.

    You can assign users manually or use advanced assignment methods such as FirstAccept, GroupSourcing, distribute documents, or auto-assign.

  3. Configure the review

    Before you launch the project, you can configure the review settings from scratch or choose an existing ICR configuration from the server.

    You can create a new configuration or manage existing ones on the ICR configurations page in memoQweb.

  4. Send review tasks

    When you launch the project, reviewers receive an email with a link to each document assigned to them.

    They can open their assigned documents in either of these ways:

    • Click the link in the email.

    • Sign in to memoQ TMS and open their assigned documents from their My tasks page.

  5. Review the translations

    Reviewers work on one document at a time in the ICR tool. Their progress is saved automatically, so they can move between different review tasks as needed.

  6. Complete the review

    When a reviewer finishes a document, they deliver it. The document then moves to the next step in the project workflow.
