Information on using regular expressions to reduce QA errors

I searched through the WB documentation on anything related to using regular expressions to reduce QA errors, but was unable to find anything. Could someone point me to where this information is; or, if it does not exist, is it possible for Wordbee to provide it?

Thanks,

Mike

  Let me add:

  We have those tools and link to the WEB site:

  http://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html

  If you have anything else, especially, for the one we can use in the Editor page, please let us know.

  Also, it would be great if you can incorporate those in your help page.

  Is anyone using regular expressions in the Wordbee QA check function in the Wordbee editor to reduce QA errors? If so, I would be glad to get any information on how you are using it. The only application I can think of would be to identify items that always cause an error (but are actually correct), but it seems like you could use a termbase to do the same thing.

  MIke,

  This is how you can set up regular expression in the QA check.

  Last time I checked this for MT errors, it did not work properly, not because of the regular expression itself but the problem in selecting appropriate terms. Most of the terms we want to filter out is also used as a part of a longer sentences and we got way too many false positives.

  Since then, I have not heard any requests from the CS team.

  Let me know if you have specific terms, phrases you want to filter out as part of the QA process.
