The **TAUS QE & APE Integration for Crowdin** leverages Quality Estimation (QE) and Automatic Post-Editing (APE) technologies provided by TAUS, enabling an automated evaluation of translated content within your Crowdin workflows. 

## Key Features

- **Quality Estimation (QE)**: Automatically evaluates the quality of translations and categorizes them into "Needs Review" or "Acceptable Quality" based on customizable thresholds.
- **Automatic Post-Editing (APE)**: Automatically improves machine-generated translations, providing revised translations directly within your Crowdin projects.
- **Automated Approval**: Optionally approve translations that meet your predefined quality standards.

## Installation and Setup

When installing the TAUS QE & APE application, two new workflow steps will be available in the workflow editor. The TAUS workflow steps must be configured before uploading your content. 

### Configuration

After installation, configure the integration in your workflow step settings by providing:

- **TAUS API Key**: Obtain this key from your TAUS account.
- **Quality Threshold**: Set a value between 0 and 1 to define your desired minimum quality level.
- **Approve Good Translations**: Enable or disable automatic approval of translations that meet or exceed the specified quality threshold.

### Using the Workflow Steps

The integration provides two workflow steps:

**TAUS QE Step**:
  - Input: Translated strings
  - Outputs: "Needs Review" or "Acceptable Quality"

**TAUS APE Step**:
  - Input: Translated strings
  - Outputs: "Not Post Edited" or "Post Edited"

Choose the appropriate workflow step based on your project’s specific needs.

## How it Works

Once configured, the integration automatically evaluates each translation when triggered by your workflow. TAUS returns a quality score and optionally an improved translation. High-quality translations can be automatically approved and progressed to the next workflow stage, significantly reducing manual review efforts.

## Supported Languages

The integration supports all languages available via the TAUS QE & APE API. Ensure the languages configured in your Crowdin project align with those supported by TAUS.

## Technical Support

If you encounter any issues or have questions about configuring and using the integration, please contact our support team for prompt assistance.
