Reviewing a task online in SDL TMS

Learn how you can perform reviews online.

Procedure

  1. If this is the first task you need to review for a job, download any corresponding job reference material. Reference material is relevant to all the tasks in a job, therefore you do not need to download it again when you are reviewing other tasks in the same job.
  2. Open the task for review.
  3. Read any comments added for the task.
    • To read task level comments, click Task Comments . The Task Comments box is displayed. When you finish reading the comments, click to close the Task Comments box.
    • To read segment level comments, click the icon on the right of the segment. A comment box is displayed. When you finish reading the comments, click Close to close the comments box.

      If the icon looks like this , it means there was no comment added.

  4. Review the segment translations. If the task is at Approval step, you cannot edit the translations, but you can comment the segments.
  5. Preview the translation. When you preview the translation, a version of the translated file is generated for you to look at. This generated file will either be displayed in your web browser or you will have to download it for previewing in the application where the source file was created.
  6. When you finish reviewing the task, you can approve it, reject it or simply, return to your inbox without approving or rejecting it.
    • To approve the task, click Submit. The task is sent to the next workflow step and is removed from your inbox.
    • To reject the task, read later in this guide. You cannot reject a task without explaining why you are rejecting it.
    • To return to your inbox without approving or rejecting the task, click Inbox in the navigation tree.
