Workflow With Translation and Review

The following workflow extends the Simple Translation Workflow:

Figure 1. Workflow Including Translation and Review

This workflow adds the following features:

  • Review Human Step

    After the Translate step is complete, the task goes to a Review human step that is usually assigned to a user in the Reviewer workflow group. The Reviewer is expected to evaluate the quality of the translations, perhaps by using the Browser Workbench to view the translations. The Reviewer flags any problems found, either by adding a segment comment or by creating an Issue in WorldServer, and uses the Reject state to send the task back to the Translator. If there are no problems, the Reviewer signals agreement with the translation by using the Approve transition.

  • Save Automatic Action
    After the reviewer has approved the translations, the Save automatic action is called. This automatic action performs these functions:
    • It generates the new target asset based on the translations provided.
    • By default, it updates the TM based on the translations provided, but you can disable this feature when you set up the workflow.
    Including the Save automatic action in the workflow means that neither the Translator nor the Reviewer needs permission to update the TM. Instead, the update happens automatically after the translations are approved.
