QA Checker > Word List

Use the QA Checker 3.0 > Word List settings to specify word list checks. The word list check is a simple term verifier. It checks for words that must not be used or that are incorrectly formatted. Instead of using a termbase, the user can enter a list of incorrect and correct word forms. For example, if the document is not supposed to contain Website, and web site is the correct form, the user can enter the word pair via the respective text fields.

The user can decide to ignore case and/or search whole words only.

These settings appear in multiple dialog boxes in SDL Trados Studio. Click here for more information about finding the appropriate dialog box.

Setting	Setting Description
Check word list	Select this if you want the QA check to check for incorrect words. Next to this check on the right-hand side is a drop-down list with three options: Error, Warning and Note. Select the severity you want to apply if this check finds errors.
Wrong form	Enter the forbidden or wrongly formatted word or phrase. You can enter multiple word phrases, such as World Wide Web or network element supply shortage, for example.
Correct form	Enter the correct form of the forbidden or wrongly formatted word.
Action	Click this to display the Action drop-down menu where you can perform the following commands: Add Item: Click this to add the word pair in the Wrong form and Correct form boxes to the list of words to be checked. Update Item: Select a word pair in the list to display it in the Wrong form and Correct form boxes. Make any necessary changes and click this to update the word pair in the list. Remove Item: Select a word pair in the list and click this to remove it. Clear Items: Click this to remove all word pairs from the list.
Ignore case	Select this if you want to ignore case when matching words in the translation documents against the words in the Wrong form list.
Search whole words only	Select this if you only want exact matches for words in the Wrong form list to be found. For example, if you have the word flex in the Wrong form list and you select this option, the words reflex and flexible will not be found by the check.
