Not setting target language

Marcela 5 years ago in Home Portal / Smart Projects updated by Marek Joniec (XTRF Product Manager) 5 years ago 2

Hello again, I have a DTP project that has EN as source language but many languages as target which are not really relevant to the project, since this is not a language thing but a design thing. Is it OK if I don't set up a target language? What will happen with my receivable if I do this? Thank you!

Answer

Hi Marcela

Technically the project in XTRF requires both source and target language, at least form the Vendor assignment perspective. You can't select a Vendor for a job if there's no language pair.

And since you can't select a Vendor you can't start and complete job, thus the project won't get closed.

In a case like this, when the Target language is not so important, I'd suggest selecting the same language twice, as both the source and target of the project.

Best regards,

Marek

Compatibility with memoQ server 8.6?

memoQ server 8.6 contained some crucial bug fixes. Before we upgrade our memoQ server from 8.5 to 8.6, could you please confirm compatibility? I know that XTRF Development was still working on some bug fixes in the XTRF-memoQ 8.5 integration. What's the update on that front?

Answer

Hi Sancho

We're currently working on the compatibility tests and I can only say what Jamie already mentioned, so far so good.

It's not official support yet, because we haven't run all the tests we have for the integration.

Oficial confirmation shouldn't take more than 2 weeks, but this is just my raw estimate.

Default settings for new jobs - "Start Job Automatically" unchecked by default

Classic Projects user here.


Is there any way to define default settings for new jobs our PMs would add to workflows? I am particularly interested in having the "start job automatically" box unchecked by default.

Job splitting in classic projects

Kristine 5 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated by MindyK 5 years ago 11

Is it possible to split a job (e.g. 1 large document) to 5 or more vendors? 1 language pair.  

If not, what is the workaround?

Thank you!

There a couple of ways to do that. One is to add translation jobs to the same task, which you can assign to different vendors. The advantage here is these will all feed into the next job (so if the next one is revision, the single reviser will get all the files from all 5 translation jobs).

The second way is to simply add new tasks for each part (that is what we usually do).

Associated CAT project not deleted when deleting Smart Project in XTRF

XTRF 8 introduced the possibility to delete Smart Projects. When doing so, you're asked whether you would like to also delete the associated project from the CAT tool (in our case: memoQ); see screenshot. We have deleted several projects with associated memoQ projects already, using this option. However, in none of the cases was the associated memoQ project actually deleted. This seems to be a bug. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Kind regards,

Peter

Answer

Hi Peter

The list of workflow directories in the Task is fixed and it is not possible to add anything to that list. There's one directory for each file category + one directory for the Task output.

Best regards,

Is it possible to serch in view on multiple clients?

Robrecht Belien 5 years ago in Home Portal / Smart Projects updated 5 years ago 2

Hi, 

Is it possible to search on multiple clients (or in any other text filter) by using some sort of expression?

eg: If I have a view with the filter "client name" can I search for "client x" and "client y"?

Regards,

Answer

Hi Robrecht

It depends on which module you have this view because some filters are not available in all modules.

When it comes to the filters there are several types of filters in the system (just like the types of custom fields): tex type, selection, date etc.

The "Client name" filter is the tex type, it's a simple text filter and it is not possible to use it for this purpose. It will allways search the inserted strings of characters againts the names of your clients. 

But there is another filter called "Client" and it is a selection type. For example in projects module you will find this filter in the Client group


Please bear in mind to select the multiple selection in the configuration of the filter. This way you can search for projects of more then one client.


This filter is available for views in: Opportunities, Quotes, Projects and Invoicing modules.

It is not available in the Clients module.

Best regards,

Marek
