Plint Subtitler: MQM mode

When reviewing subtitles in Plint Subtitler, you may have access to an additional toolset called the "MQM mode". In this mode, Plint Subtitler will have a somewhat different layout and slightly different editing rules apply. 

The purpose of MQM mode is to ensure that all changes are accompanied by an explanation and report, which is handled in the form of "Issues". Issues let you categorize the error you found (and corrected) and also determine the severity of the error. The error types are standardised, allowing for measuring the result across different platforms.
