Why this template
What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.
What sets it apart
- Includes dedicated opinion-scale questions covering grammar/spelling, natural phrasing, readability, cultural appropriateness, and intent-accuracy of the translated content — the core LQA dimensions
- Uses an AI follow-up interview to probe deeper into any cultural or tone issues a respondent flags, going beyond a static rating
- Captures context (locale, where the text was encountered, source and target language proficiency) so LQA teams can segment and prioritize issues by locale
- Ends with an auto-generated report structure supported by transparent, reviewable AI prompts, unlike closed-box scoring in generic quality templates
