Creating a Project

What needs to be done beforehand?

  • Setting up Online Translators with Across Login
  • Creating Document Settings Templates
  • Creating Project Settings Templates
  • Creating QM Templates
  • Creating Reporting Templates

This is how it works

  1. Preparing the Source File
  2. Starting the Project Wizard
  3. Determining a Project Name and Adding Source Files
  4. Determining the Project Settings
  5. Selecting the Source and Target Languages
  6. Determining Document Settings Templates
  7. Selecting a Workflow
  8. Finishing the Project Creation

Preparing the Source File

Review the source file before checking it in to Across. For example, check the word count or any passages that you might not need in Across and can therefore block by means of a suitable DST. After these preparations, start the Across Client.

When using the example file, you can skip the preparation step.

Starting the Project Wizard

In the toolbar, click icn_project-wizard in order to open the Project Wizard. Then click Next.

Determining a Project Name and Adding Source Files

Enter a project name and add the source file by clicking the respective button or via drag and drop. You can even add an entire folder. However, please make sure that it only contains the source files and that all source files have the same language, as the project structure of Across provides for only one source language per project. However, you may use different file formats.

The project ID is automatically (sequentially) assigned, but can be changed if necessary.

If reference material is available, e.g. a PDF showing the final layout or screenshots/images that could be beneficial for the translation, you can attach such.

Then click Next.

Determining the Project Settings

Here, select all project settings, e.g. the required project and reporting templates. Project attributes are set according to the selected project settings template; however, you can customize them if necessary.

When following the example workflow, select the newly created templates (Test Rep and Test PST).

wiz_project-wizard_03

Choose a suitable project manager and set the due date for the project. Take the size of the source text and the planned workflow steps into consideration, leaving enough time for each task.

Then click Next.

Selecting the Source and Target Languages

Select the source language of the added documents as well as all required target languages. You can set different due dates for the various target languages. A little icon indicates whether machine pre-translation will be performed for the respective target language.

wiz_project-wizard_04

Then click Next.

Determining Document Settings Templates

Select a suitable DST for each document. Click Configure to check the settings and adjust them if necessary.

When following the example workflow, select the Test DST template.

wiz_project-wizard_05

Then click Next.

Selecting a Workflow

Select a workflow, e.g. Translation.

wiz_project-wizard_06

Remember that each step of the workflow is linked to a certain task and role in Across. If the translation needs to be reviewed, select a suitable multi-stage workflow.

Finishing the Project Creation

Click Finish in order to create the project with the configured settings.
