The WorldServer Task Assignment Email Message

About this task

If you have a user account on a WorldServer system in which you are assigned a task, WorldServer notifies you of that assignment by sending an email message. The message begins, “You have just been assigned task(s) for project(s) listed below...” It contains a link to the WorldServer page that lists the assigned task(s) for each project assigned to you.

If you receive a WorldServer task-assignment message, you can create a WorldServer project package for an assignment:

Procedure

  1. In the email message, click the link to a WorldServer assignment.

    WorldServer displays its Login page.

  2. Enter your login credentials, and click Login.

    WorldServer displays the Task List for Project page for the assigned project.

  3. Select one or more tasks. To select all of the tasks in the project, click the checkbox in the header bar of the task list.
  4. Position your mouse over the expansion triangle at the right side of the Edit/Translate button.

    WorldServer displays a menu of supported editors.

  5. Click In SDL Trados Studio...

    WorldServer displays the Create Translation Kit for Projects window. For each selected task, WorldServer

    • Claims the task for you, to prevent other users from working on the same file
    • Locks the target file, again to prevent conflicting updates
    • Formats the source file for translation
    • Finds WorldServer translation memory and WorldServer terminology matches for the file

    WorldServer then gathers all of this information into a project package and downloads that package file through your browser. The filename conforms to this format: tasks_projectname_project#_target-locale_xliff.wsxz.

  6. Save this file to a known location on your PC. (Do not select the default operation, which is to open the project package directly in Studio.)
