| Translation request | One translation job from an office, tracked from receipt to delivery. |

| Turnaround | Days from a request being received to it being delivered. |

| Review status | Where a request stands for people reading the translation: waiting, in translation, in QA review, gist delivered, QA reviewed, certified, or delivered without QA. |
| Certification | A certifying linguist’s confirmation, after a passing QA result, that a translation can be used. Recorded in the product; Moraph doesn’t certify anything itself. |

| Severity | How serious a QA finding is: minor, major or critical. Each counts the penalty points set in Translation settings. |
| Penalty score | A QA round’s penalty points per 1,000 words of the request, so requests of different sizes can be compared. It is the QA reviewer’s recorded judgement; Moraph doesn’t check the translation. |

| Requester issue | An issue a requesting office raised in feedback on a delivered request. It stays open until the action taken is recorded. |
| Part | A share of a request's words given to a second linguist; the request's linguist leads and translates the rest. |
| Category weight | A number that multiplies the penalty points of findings in a QA error category; 1 counts them as they are. |
