The EN 15038 Standard Workflow
From v7.0 9618, the EN 15038 Standard workflow is replaced by the ISO 17100 Standard workflow.
The EN 15038 Standard workflow comprises the preparation, the translation, and the subsequent correction of the documents, which may be partitioned. Subsequently, the documents are subject to technical review and final release.
The EN 15038 Standard workflow comprises the following tasks, users, and editing states:
Icon | State | Description |
Original state | Untouched | |
Intermediate editing state | Touched | |
Intermediate editing state | Translated | |
Final state | Keep source | |
Final state | Checked | |
Original state | Checked | |
State for redelegation to translator | Touched | |
Final state | Corrected | |
Original state | Corrected | |
State for redelegation to translator | Touched | |
Final state | Reviewed | |
Original state | Reviewed | |
State for redelegation to translator | Touched | |
Final state | Released | |
Redelegation to the Translator
While editing tasks (correction, review, and release), reviewers and correctors can delegate paragraphs that need to be revised by the translator, e.g. due to errors or inaccuracies, back to the translator. To delegate a paragraph back, set it to the editing state Touched (
).
If you are assigned a translation task with the EN 15038 Standard workflow, you will have the Checked state (
) in addition to the normal editing state Translated (
).
The Checked state () is the final editing state of your translation task. Therefore, to be able to finish the task, all paragraphs of the document must be set to this state.
Correcting Translations
Basically, the correction of translations as part of the EN 15038 Standard workflow is no different from the "normal" correction of translations. The only difference is the icon for the editing state Corrected, which you must set each paragraph to. Instead of the 
icon for normal corrections, the EN 15038 Standard workflow makes use of the 
icon.
