On the Classic interface, you can view information about the project, about the progress of the translation, and about the estimated cost of the project by selecting different buttons on the Tasks page. As opposed to the WorldServer 11 interface, where you can view scoping information only for project groups, on the Classic interface, you can also view detailed scoping information for projects and you can apply ad hoc charges or discounts.
Procedure
- In WorldServer, go to the Projects page.
- Click the project about which you want to view information.
- On the Task List for Project: <name><target locale> page, select View scoping information.
The following information is displayed in the
Scope dialog box:
- The scoping mode and configuration applied to the current project.
- The cost model associated with the scoping configuration, if applicable.
- The cost of the translation after applying the scoping configuration and the cost model.
- The grand total (the cost of the translation after applying ad hoc charges or discounts in the Manual Adjustment box).
- A table that contains the number of words in each match range, as well as a cost estimate for each asset, based on the applied scoping configuration and cost model1.
- Optional: In the Scope dialog box, do one or more of the following:
- To apply ad hoc charges or discounts, enter an appropriate value in the Manual Adjustment box, and then select Recalculate Grand Total.
- To add a note as a vendor, enter the note in the Vendor's Notes box.
- To add a note as a customer, enter the note in the Customer's Notes box.
- To download the scoping information in the table (except for any additional charges and discounts), select Download as CSV file, and then save the file.
- To save your changes, especially after applying charges or discounts or after adding notes, select Save.
1 The
MT Fuzzy Words column displays the number of words where the best translation came from machine translation, rather than from a translation memory. This helps you quantify the usefulness of machine translation on your environment.
