How the AI commentary works and what it checks

Applies to: pagenorma S, pagenorma QS

The commentary is designed as a second pair of eyes for your own judgement. It never changes your text.

What it checks

For every paragraph pair, the AI compares the original with your translation and looks for three kinds of problem:

  1. Meaning that is lost or changed — wrong or partly wrong meaning, the wrong referent, an important idea left out, or a translation that does not match the source.
  2. Wording that is possible but unsuitable here — a word or phrase that is stylistically, collocationally, in register or idiomatically wrong for this context.
  3. Unjustified variation — switching to a synonym or variant for the same term when the context does not justify it and consistency suffers.

It also checks that the translation really belongs to the paragraph it is paired with. If the text appears to come from another chapter, or is unrelated, it says so.

What it is told not to flag

  • Natural translations that are not literal.
  • Correct inflected forms. It does not suggest a dictionary form just because the word appears in another case, number, gender or verb form.
  • A deviation from the glossary on its own. Glossary entries are generated from your own translation, so they are treated as a hint, never as proof of an error.
  • Differences caused by translating a chapter title, a name or a place.
  • Two source paragraphs that you joined into one, or introductory material that exists only in the source.

How comments are written

Comments are short and name the questionable expression, what the source means or needs there, and why the translation is a problem. They are written in the language of your translation. If you set Translation language (for AI commentary) on the project, that language is used. Otherwise it is detected automatically, and when the language is unknown the comments default to Croatian.

Use it wisely

AI can be wrong, especially with idiom, wordplay and rare words. Treat a comment as a pointer to look again, and make the decision yourself.
