Six approaches to measuring translation quality is a short article published several years ago on the Medical Design Online web site (the article is still available).

The six approaches mentioned are:

1. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2450
2. Localisation Industry Standard Association (LISA) QA Model
3. ForeignExchange Translations' Multilingual Compliance Process
4. American Translators Association accreditation program
5. Deutsches Institut für Normung DIN 2345
6. Six sigma quality initiative

The article contains some further details about these differing approaches to quality.
