Project Types
A project type is a template for creating projects. When you create a project, using a project type, WorldServer gets the following information from the project type:
- The source locale from which you are translating
- Whether to require a due date for tasks
- The workgroup for the project
- The default workflow to use (for all locales, or per locale)
- The default file type configuration to use (for all locales, or per locale)
- The default cost model to use (for all locales, or per locale)
- The Studio QA Checker profile (for translation consistency)
- Whether to use a client-specified translation memory or to specify one here (for all locales, or per locale)
- Whether to use a client-specified terminology database or to specify one here (for all locales, or per locale)
- Any custom AIS properties or project attributes you want the project creator to provide
- The default Machine Translation (MT) configuration to use (for all locales, or per locale)
- The default quality models (for all locales, or per locale)
A project type lets you automatically apply a set of AIS properties, default workflows, and linkages when you create a new project using the Upload Files and Create Project feature in WorldServer or the Create New Project feature in TransPort.
You create a project type by clicking Add in the page. Alternatively, you can base your new project type on an existing one by opening the existing project type, modifying it, then clicking Save As New.
