High quality can only be reached when everyone does their part: we have summarized some [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Translate/Translation best practices|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 [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Translate/Statistics and reporting|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.

== Translation review features ==
[[File:Translate documentation - Quality - Review translator.png|thumb|300px|Translators are shown how many users have reviewed each translation; note the gray check-mark and the pencil icon which you have to click to edit the translation]]
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.

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.
