What does a data-driven approach mean in localisation?
A data-driven approach means making business and company decisions based only on reliable data. This data is analysed and thoroughly interpreted to help organisations operate more efficiently and effectively.
The data-driven approach has also found its place in the translation industry. In this context, it focuses on analysing credible data to continuously monitor and evaluate translation quality. With the LivoLINK platform, users get detailed analyses and custom reports, which help them react quickly and fix possible mistakes.
Where exactly does the data come from? What technologies does LivoLINK use to enable a data-driven approach?
This is made possible through the use of key metrics in the data-driven process:
- Edit Distance – the number of edits required to achieve a perfect translation.
- BLEU Metric – evaluates the accuracy of a translation compared to the source text.
- TER Metric – measures the amount of editing needed to match the original content.


Benefits of the data-driven approach in LivoLINK
The data-driven approach in LivoLINK supports the entire translation process. It boosts team efficiency while maintaining high translation quality. It can also lead to reduced translation costs. Another advantage is the ability to generate reports compliant with ISO 5060 standards.
