Finalise
Once the review stage has been completed, tasks return to the Translation Lead for finalisation.
Before you begin
You must be a Translation Lead with appropriate permissions within the group matrix to be able to perform, or re-assign finalisation tasks to Translators.
For TMS jobs, you must have fully completed the translation in TMS. If you have not, the Finalise task will not complete and will keep re-appearing in your task list. If this occurs, complete the translation in TMS and click Save only, do not progress or Submit the job in TMS. Then log back to Helix and complete the finalisation task.
About this task
A finalisation task is only available for action in your task list once the associated review task has been completed.
Procedure
Results
- TMS Jobs
-
Depending on the settings in the job, the job progresses through various workflows:
· If the job requires technical delivery work the job moves to the Post Processing stage.
- On-Time Delivery Scoring Guidelines
-
One star (Poor) Delivered late, and SDL not informed in advance. Impacted work organization and jeopardized delivery to reviewer/client. Two stars (Below standard) Delivered late, but SDL informed in advance. Impacted work organization and delivery to reviewer/client. Three stars (Satisfactory) Delivered slightly late, and SDL not informed in advance. Impacted work organization but did not jeopardize production or delivery to client. Four stars (Good) Delivered slightly late, but SDL informed in advance. Did not impact delivery to reviewer/client. Five stars (Excellent) Delivered in time or in advance for comfortable processing by SDL.
- Quality Scoring Guidelines
-
One star (Poor) Shows incapacity to express ideas in the target language. Most parts of the translation are difficult to understand first time and require re-reading.
Very high number of meaning and/or language, grammar, spelling and terminology and style errors.
Presence of many serious errors and/or 1 or several critical errors.
Required extensive rework (review productivity is equivalent to translation metrics).
Overall quality is poor (approximately equivalent to a low-to-poor fail in SDL Quality Evaluation scorecard).
Two stars (Below standard) Almost all of the text reads like a translation rather that an original text written in the target language. Some parts are difficult to understand first time and require re-reading.
High number of meaning and/or language, grammar, spelling and terminology and style errors.
Presence of a considerable number of serious errors but no critical errors.
Required significant rework (review productivity is below the average metrics).
Overall quality is below standard (approximately equivalent to a mid-to-borderline fail in SDL Quality Evaluation scorecard).
Three stars (Satisfactory) Some parts of the translation read naturally like an original text written in the target language, but others read like a translation.
Some meaning and/or language, grammar, spelling, terminology and style errors.
Presence of some minor and serious errors.
Required some rework (review productivity is average or slightly low).
Overall quality is satisfactory (approximately equivalent to a borderline pass in SDL Quality Evaluation scorecard).
Four stars (Good) A big part of the translation reads naturally like an original text written in target language.
Low number of meaning and/or language, grammar, spelling, terminology and style errors.
Presence of minor errors mainly and only the occasional serious error.
Required minor rework (review productivity is average to high).
Overall quality is good (approximately equivalent to a good pass in SDL Quality Evaluation scorecard).
Five stars (Excellent) All or almost all of the translation reads naturally like an original text written in the target language.
Only minimal meaning and/or language, grammar, spelling and terminology and style errors.
Presence of very isolated minor errors only and no serious errors.
Minor to no rework required, mainly enhancements and polishing (review productivity is high).
Overall quality is excellent (approximately equivalent to an excellent pass in SDL Quality Evaluation scorecard).
