Phrase QPS and Loqalit: the segment and the screen

Phrase QPS scores each translated segment from 0 to 100 inside Phrase, so teams can route low scores to post-editing or LQA before anything ships. Loqalit checks the rendered product in every language after strings are deployed, and posts accepted fixes back into Phrase as comments with a screenshot. They work at different stages, and they work best together.

When to use which

Use Phrase’s quality features for

  • Scoring at translation time, inside the TMS, before anything ships
  • Content that never renders as UI, such as documents and marketing copy
  • Rule-based pre-checks while translators work: tags, placeholders, UI length
  • A human LQA step for vendor evaluation

Add Loqalit for

  • A string is truncated or overlaps in the real layout
  • Hard-coded or untranslated text never entered Phrase
  • A correct segment is used in the wrong context on the page
  • You need regressions caught on live or staging pages after release

QPS scores the segment. Loqalit checks the screen.

Keep QPS on for every segment. Add Loqalit after release, and accepted fixes come back to the Phrase string your translators already work in.
