Managing TQI at global level
Note
To use this feature, you must purchase an AI Words allowance for your entire XTM Cloud instance. AI Words are source words sent to the LLMs. Words from the translation memory (TM), terminology, the Style guide field, and context segments are NOT counted as AI Words. For details about AI Words calculation and deduction for projects, see AI Words in XTM Cloud. For pricing information, contact your account manager.
Clients running the new Enterprise or Business subscription (for details, see Licensing) receive a free monthly allowance of 100,000 or 50,000 AI Words per XTM Cloud instance, accordingly. These words can be used for one or more of these AI-driven features: AI Translate & TQI (used either with or without the TQI component), AI Post-Edit, and TQI. For details, see AI-driven Features tab.
Important
To improve the accuracy of translation assessment, especially if the necessary terminology and translation memory (TM) records either do not exist or are very limited, we strongly recommend that Project Managers use a Style Guide during project creation (for details, see Creating a project: AI Translations). As a user with an XTM Cloud Administrator role, you must create one or more Style Guides that can then be used by Project Managers. For details, see Style Guide tab.
Important
The options and thresholds that you select will apply to all use cases of the TQI feature in a project:
Using TQI as part of the AI Translate & TQI feature. For details, see the AI Translate & TQI section in this table.
Using TQI in an automatic step to score all types of content (e.g., human translations, TM matches, and MT- or LLM-generated content). For details, see Global TQI settings.
Using TQI during project analysis to score all types of content (e.g., human translations, TM matches, and MT- or LLM-generated content). For details, see Global TQI settings.
As a user with the XTM Cloud Administrator role, you can make global-level TQI settings. These settings will be the system default. However, Project Managers can change these default settings at customer and project level.

Clients running the new Enterprise or Business subscription (for details, see Licensing) receive a free monthly allowance of 100,000 or 50,000 AI Words per XTM Cloud instance, accordingly. These words can be used for one or more of these AI-driven features: AI Translate & TQI (used either with or without the TQI component), AI Post-Edit, and TQI.

XTM uses ChatGPT and Gemini to run the TQI feature. To check which models are currently used, see the Supported models section in https://xtm.ai.transifex.com/docs#section/LLM-Configuration.
I bring my own key – to use your own LLM licenses. In this case, ensure that you have selected an LLM engine for the BYOK option. For details, see Selecting an LLM engine for the BYOK option.
Note
If you are using your own LLM keys, the size of the source text, terminology, TM records, context segments, and the Style guide instructions can influence the LLM usage costs. For details, refer to your LLM subscription rules.
Confidence threshold section. Use these settings to set the minimum quality score for acceptable or good translations:
Unacceptable – set a threshold below which segments are considered poor quality and need correction. To do so, enter a numeric value in the text field. Alternatively, use the slider displayed above the Unacceptable label: the corresponding numeric value is displayed automatically in the text field. The Unacceptable quality range is marked in red on the slider. Target segments within this range are also marked in red in XTM Workbench. The default value is 0%.
Acceptable – set a threshold to create a range for medium-quality segments. These segments meet basic standards, but might require minor improvements. To set the threshold, enter a numeric value in the text field. Alternatively, use the slider displayed above the Acceptable label: the corresponding numeric value is displayed automatically in the text field. The Acceptable quality range lies between the Unacceptable threshold, or 0% (if the Unacceptable threshold has not been set), and the Acceptable threshold value. It is marked in yellow on the slider. Target segments within this range are also marked in yellow in XTM Workbench. The default value is 0%.
Good – the setting value is fixed at 100%. Segments in the range between the Acceptable threshold, Unacceptable threshold (if Acceptable has not been set), or 0% (if neither the Acceptable nor Unacceptable threshold has been set), and 100% are considered high quality. They do not need corrections or post-editing by a Linguist. The Good quality range is marked in green on the slider. Target segments within this range are also marked in green in XTM Workbench.
Important
To ensure the best possible translation quality, we recommend that you select the 95–100% Good quality range.
