Basic requirements for any company
General translation quality	Translation errors of every type, such as mistranslations, omissions and grammar errors, classified by type and severity following MQM, the industry standard.	No critical error, at most 3 major errors in the four test texts (3,034 words) and at most 20 errors per 1,000 words, weighted by severity (minor 1, major 5, critical 10).
Standard requirements adds the rules companies set for their content

Tags	Every HTML tag of the source, with its attributes, in the translation.	100% of the tags.
Unicode character integrity	Every character intact, with no corrupted characters and no letter from another script that only looks like the right one.	100% of the characters.
Locale conventions	The punctuation marks of the target language in place of the English ones.	No pass-or-fail bar. We report it as a share, because whether to localize punctuation is a matter of house style.
HTML entities	No HTML character code, such as the code for a quotation mark, that the source does not carry.	No added HTML entity.
Valid JSON	The translated JSON document still parses.	The document parses.
Spacing at tag boundaries	The spaces next to HTML tags stay as in the source.	100% of the tag boundaries.
Advanced requirements adds a requirement for some companies and use cases

Find English to Odia translation solutions for your requirements

Pick a quality level, or your own requirements, bars and constraints, to see the shortlisted solutions that meet them in Odia (Oriya), with a column for each requirement you select. Under Optimize for, choose which of them comes first: the one with the fewest total errors, the lowest cost or the shortest time. Click a column heading to sort by it.

The shortlisted solutions on 11 models, with their Intento LQA results. Total errors per 1,000 words add the weighted general translation quality errors (minor 1, major 5, critical 10) to the missed glossary terms, sentences in the wrong register, tag errors and sentences that fail gender neutrality, each counted once. Formatting counts as met or missed and does not add to the total errors. The models that did not make the shortlist have automatic scores only: the shortlist. Inconclusive: the three LQA judges agree on fewer than 90% of the sentences of the solution, so it has no general translation quality result (09-02). Gender neutrality: the Advanced requirements count the two best solutions of the language, with the gender-neutrality agent where they need it. The results of the other solutions are shown for information.
