Hello,

We often have projects with some content pretranslated both from the TM and other content from from MT.

We want to apply the providers' post-editing rate for "new words", but then the TM match rates are recalculated as a percentage of the new PE base rate. However, we want to apply the fuzzy and 100% match rates that are based off of a providers translation rate since translation of fuzzy matches is a different task than post-editing.

What solutions have you found for setting up the vendors' profiles so that this is done without having to manually modify the rates of each "hybrid" project?

Is there supposed to be a pac man game in XTRF when we log in?  Our team wants to make sure the system wasn't hacked!

Hello,

anyone know what't the best encoding for Spanish?

Hello,

Right now it is not posible to change the Status of a Quote. For example from Pending into Accepted without converting into project.

Sometimes, our client needs a quote for admin purposes and they request it once the project it is already managed. So, our quote remains either Pending or Rejected.

Would you find useful the possibility to change the status of a quote from Pending into Accepted without converting into project?

Thanks

In Classic projects, we had the option to set the Delivery Date of one step as the Start Date of the following step. Is this an option in Smart projects? If so, how would one go one setting that up.

Thanks.

We have an external vendor we sometimes use for additional QA or PM resources, and I'm not sure if  I should enable this or not. If so, I will be able to link the page to her vendor profile? 

One of my long finished, archived projects has an "issue" associated with it.  One of the jobs didn't start on time.  I get it, that was an issue and when my former colleague was managing that project, that was important to know.  However, is there any way to get the alert in the main portal to disappear?  It's really bugging me seeing this alert every time I log in to XTRF.

Has anyone else using the XTRF Smart/memoQ integration had this error message pop up over recent months? We did not have this before version 8, have brought it up with Support, but it still persists. Not with every project, but often enough to be a concern. If nobody else gets this error message, this would help us in our troubleshooting effort. If this error message is familiar, we might be able to discern a pattern together.

Does anyone know what API command to use to set a job as uninvoiceable (Smart Projects)? We are trying to set this Invoicing Term at the start of the step/job in question, which would be the trigger. Since we are not able to set this field in the global or process configuration of XTRF, we have to get an API call to take care of that, but so far I have not been able to find the right field/value in the API documentation that points to the property Invoiceable.

When a new project is created, the person who creates it is assigned the role of Project Manager. Is it possible to change that from the Client's Profile? I would like to assign always the same Project Manager and same Project Coordinator to each individaul client, no matter who creates the project. Thanks!
