Examples - custom workflow templates

This topic provides some examples of how you can configure custom workflow templates.

Example 1: Focus on Automated tasks

You can create such a workflow if you are translating files which are extremely predictable, which you have translated several times before, and which need minimum checking at the end.

This is one way you could configure the workflow template: automation steps in custom workflow template

Example 2: Review is performed before Translation

You can create such a workflow if your customer wants you to review an already translated text, and based on your findings to translate it further or to validate the existing translation.

This is one way you could configure the workflow template: review before translate in custom workflow template

Example 3: Two Translation rounds performed by different translators

You can create such a workflow if in addition to a regular translation-review round, you want a different translation round for transcreation purposes (cultural adaptation, for example).

There are 2 ways in which you can integrate the transcreation round in your workflow:
  • You create a custom Human task of the Translation type and you integrate it in your custom workflow template. In the example below, this task is called "Translation 2 (n round)".
  • You do not create a custom Human task of the Translation type, but, while you are building your custom workflow template, you add a Translation (new) task. Rename this task inline.
This is one way you could configure the workflow template: multiple translation rounds in custom workflow template

Example 4: Multiple TM Update rounds

You can create workflows where the TM Update automated task is performed after Translation, and then after Linguistic Review.

Example 5: You just want to know what the English source files are about

This is one way you could configure the workflow template:
