Projects can be created to manage translations, track progress, and make estimates for groups of related documents. Typically, a project consists of group documents with similar deadlines, content, and translation settings; however, a project can be used in any manner that makes sense to your organization.

To create a project,

Name the project.
Enter basic information (e.g. due date, client name).
Choose a Workflow and Translator Resources.
  • Upload documents.
  • After creating the project, you will be able to assign desired personnel.

    Add a Workflow

    Once a project is created, a workflow can be assigned. The workflow automatically controls many default settings (such as default source/target language settings, assigned translators, etc.). 

    Tip

    A copy of the workflow will be added to the project. Once a workflow is copied onto the project, this copy can be modified without affecting the main workflow template. 

    Choose Resources

    Next, designate which resources should be available to each linguist and optionally set a due date. 

    Upload Documents

     After selecting the desired resources, you will be ready to upload documents to the project.

    Override the Workflow

    In some situations, you may need to override the project’s workflow. If you need to override the workflow, you can do it in several ways.

    Choose a new workflow. If you accidentally selected the wrong workflow during the setup process, easily choose a new workflow in just a few clicks.
    Tweak the workflow (on the project level). If you wish to modify the existing workflow, you can do so on the project level without affecting the main workflow template.
  • Use a Document Action. To override the workflow on only some documents, choose the document(s), and then run a Document Action.

  • Document Actions can override almost every aspect of the workflow. Use document actions to add a target language, skip a workflow phase, and more. Click here for an overview of each available document action.

    Edit Project Details

    Once a project is created, you can rename it or share it with other project managers. 
    Additional project features allow you to change project information, delete an entire project, move documents to another project, or allow translators to download documents within a project.
     

    Translate Web Content

    Translate Websites

    If you need to translate an entire website, many automated options are available. Integrations are available for major Content Management Systems - such as Drupal, Adobe Experience Manager, and Oracle Web Center. Please contact support@lingotek.com for more information.

    Translate RSS Feeds

    If you often need to translate news or blogs published via an RSS feed, you can automate the process.
    Go to the project and enter the RSS feed URL. Then, Lingotek will pull articles from the RSS feed into the translation management system as individual documents. These documents can then be translated or deleted as needed.

    3. Optionally, you can give your project a due date, Quality Program, and associate the project with a client. 
    4. Click each tab (TM Vaults, Glossaries,andMT Engines) and then check to select which resources you’d like to be made available to linguists in the Workbench.

      Note
      titleImportant
