Help:Extension:Translate/Quality assurance/ja

High quality can only be reached when everyone does their part: we have summarized some translation best practices that should be followed. Whether you are a translator or a translation administrator, the Translate extension provides you the tools to produce higher quality translations. In statistics and reporting we have described the many tools which allow translators to find where their effort is needed and translation administrators to monitor the progress. In this page we explain the quality assurance technical tools that encourage translators to work together to improve their translations. Translation reviewing is a very important task and the provided tools make it possible to increase and assess the quality of translations.

翻訳の査読機能
The access to the review tools is controlled by user right. The Translate extension by default adds an user group called translation reviewers. In review view the reviewers can indicate that they think the translation is correct and good by clicking a button. The software keeps track of reviewed translations so that reviewers don't need to review same translations again. Users can only review translations they haven't made themselves. Multiple people can review any translation.

メッセージのドキュメントも同様にここでは重要な役割を果たします. 査読者は、翻訳の綴りや用語が正しいことだけではなく、文脈に合っていることも確認する必要があります.

翻訳者向け
The number of people who have reviewed a translation is shown near the review action for each message.

Of more interest, translators see in their watchlist when any of their translation has been reviewed. This is useful because they can see that someone is looking at their work and appreciating it, and that they're not left alone or ignored, so they can be more confident about translating.

(現時点では、) 翻訳査読記録はウォッチリスト、ウォッチリストのメール通知、最近の変更のいずれからも除外できません.

査読者向け
Translation review is performed on Special:Translate: the "mark as reviewed" check-mark is shown in the review view. Reviewers can review translations for any message group or choose the Recent translations message group to review latest translations.

「翻訳の採用」画面には、自分が翻訳したものは表示されません. この画面のメッセージ一覧は、査読者ごとに異なります. 自分の翻訳は、他の人の翻訳すべてとともに「すべての翻訳を査読」画面に列挙されます.

他の査読者向け
他の査読者には、既に採用されたメッセージとそれらを採用した人数を知ることができる、という利点があります. つまり、彼らはメッセージ群内の未査読の翻訳に集中して査読できるのです. これらの未査読の翻訳は、査読者が確信を持てずに未採用のまま残しているものを含む場合があるため、注意が必要です. なぜなら、不明確な翻訳を報告する手段がまだないためです. さらに、他の 1 人以上の査読者が採用したにもかかわらず、ある査読者がその翻訳に確信を持てない場合は、その査読者に前述の機能が役立ちます.

最近の翻訳の査読
The "recent translations" group is perhaps the most useful translation review feature. It can replace Special:RecentChanges and Special:WatchList for some uses.

このページでは、自分が査読できる翻訳のみをすべて閲覧できます. 必要な情報の大部分が表示されます. 残りの情報は、翻訳エディターを開くと表示されます.

メッセージ群の初回の査読は、日時順に行うよりも、1 つのメッセージ群に集中して行なう方が好ましいです. 次の節では、未査読を減らすための分割統治の方法を説明します.

Systematic review
翻訳の査読は、メッセージ群全体の品質と一貫性を高いレベルに保つ校正という大変な仕事を生み出しますが、それが醍醐味でもあります.

メッセージ群を熟知していて翻訳の高い品質を維持したい場合は、「すべての翻訳を査読」画面を開くと、すべてを一気に査読できます. Now you can check that messages have been correctly interpreted and improve their documentation; ensure that source terms have been translated in the same way everywhere, ここでは、各メッセージの原文とその翻訳の両方が表示されているため、比較的容易です. 翻訳が正しい場合は「採用」を押して次に進みます. 間違っている場合や追加情報が必要な場合は、翻訳エディターをクリックして翻訳を修正します.

The next time, you'll only have to open the group again and skim it for the icons indicating new translations which need review; you won't need to closely follow recent changes nor to watchlist all messages, which are respectively too crowded and not practical.

Translation memory can help a little to keep the wording of similar messages consistent. It cannot enforce consistent use of terms in different kinds of messages. There is no technical solution for this problem yet, but you now have a handy tool to impose consistency piece by piece. It's a good achievement to have consistent translations at least across a whole message group, especially if it uses special terms which are hard to understand. In such cases more than usual, different translators might translate the messages, using different terms and resulting in a confusing overall translation. Moreover, if consistency is improved, the suggestions given by translation memory are more consistent and this should improve consistency among all message groups.

作業の流れ
The Translate extension is designed for publishing translations as soon as possible to show translators the impact of their work. If you want to be sure that translations are of good quality before using them, you can use a more formal process. You can implement a workflow through message group states.

Reviewing of translation does not have any effect on the appearance or usage of translations, so it's a quite different tool than the Flagged revisions extension: the scope of translation reviewing is not to find and provide to its readers the best translation among those available, but to encourage quality work on translations.

Reviewing of translation can be combined with message group workflow states by having a proofreading state to be used by proofreaders to coordinate. As explained in more detail in the relevant page, the two features do not interact with each other: they are controlled separately by the users.
