Idea Delivered

With one of our last updates, we've introduced a new task named Bilingual Engineering, to enable Project Managers or Engineers to manipulate the bilingual files before they are analysed or translated, and perform user actions such as locking segments. 
This task is placed after Translation Memory Matching and Machine Translation, but before Analysis.
The task is excluded by default, but can be enabled as part of the workflow or during a project.

Ability to access the Online Editor during Preparation stage

It is currently not possible to access the online editor in the preparation stage. In my opinion it would make sense that the project manager can view and edit the file in the online editor before assigning the task to the translator/reviewer, detect possible issues such as poor segmentation, etc. and maybe make some changes or at least define if he/she needs to add notes.

  • This is definitely an indispensable requirement because project managers must be able to prepare the source documents (eg. by locking some segments, ...) before they go to the translation phase. This is one of their main tasks and I cannot believe that the system does not address this issue.
