ContentQuo Plan

ContentQuo Plan is what translation business intelligence of the 21st century should be. There is so much data to be analyzed on linguistic quality across so many dimensions! Yet most companies can't even start gathering it - not to mention finding insights and then acting on them! Using Plan, continuous quality improvement becomes easy: with a few clicks and a bit of waiting (while data is gathered by my linguistic experts), I can get all the problematic quality spots in my localization program highlighted for me!

Where does it fit in my lingustic quality program?

Let’s face it: even when you have the entire quality program operating smoothly, there are always things you would prefer not to do. For example, starting new quality evaluations (or paying your review LSP to do it for you). Or figuring out which of your languages, products, or vendors to spend your precious LQA budget on this month. ContentQuo Plan enables you to automate those last remaining tedious parts of quality program management, so that you and your team can finally focus on strategic decisions and handling exceptions. True bliss!

Plays nicely with your existing toolset

We recognize that linguistic quality programs don’t happen in a vacuum: there are all sorts of other localization tools you or your clients are already using in order to produce localized content. This is exactly why we made ContentQuo interoperable and standards-based.

Upload any XLIFF, Excel, CSV, or TMX

All popular XLIFF varities from most popular CAT and TMS tools can be read and written by ContentQuo. Other bilingual formats like XLSX can be read, with per-project column configuration. 20+ file formats!

Import existing offline quality scorecards

Have been doing LQA in spreadsheets for years? ContentQuo can import all of those, so that you don’t lose any of those precious quality KPIs and can centralize them from day 1.

Read XLIFF revision history or compare versions

We import change history automatically from supported XLIFF flavors like Trados or memoQ. If unavailable, you can always ask ContentQuo to compare 2 file revisions and find changes.

Pull data in and out of your TMS automatically

Through our TMS integrations, we can synchronize your user accounts, projects, and translation jobs into ContentQuo - and also make changes in your TMS when certain conditions are met.

Write all modified translations back into XLIFF

For easily updating your TM after an LQA or mock post-editing sessions, ContentQuo records all the changes done to translated text back into your bilinguals so that you can import them into TM

Get ratings from 2 to 5 linguists simultaneously for more objective Adequacy-Fluency evaluations, or just use 1 linguist.
