Translating automatically via Trados Online Editor

Translate the content assigned to you in Trados Team by accessing Trados Online Editor straight from Trados Team. Access the Translate task assigned to you from the Inbox view.

About this task

Access the Translation task assigned to you from the Inbox view. If you receive the Translation task back from linguistic reviewers in order to make corrections, the request corrections comments can be found both in the email notification and Trados Online Editor. When working on Translation tasks where you are required to make corrections, Trados Online Editor allows you to work differently depending on how the configuration was set up for you by your Administrator or Project Manager.

Trados Studio does not support creating and working on projects which have the same source and target language. Local file download is restricted for these projects.
