Questions?

Hi all,

What is the "correct" way of listing all jobs by a certain vendor that haven't been invoiced? It's easy in the vendor module, but I haven't found an easy way to do display that metric as a PM. I realize this may be a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find a solution.

Thanks!

when I have a multilingual project I still can add only one freelancer for all these languages. How to add a freelancer per language?

Hi, there is an event in Xtrf to send an email:

E-mail/Text Message to Client: When project confirmation is sent to client

When is this fired? Or is it only manually when you click on the edit and send button?

Can the Volume (source word) in "Project" be modified in e.g. page or any other value? 

Is there a way to select/change the default vendor PO in a Smart Project?

We would like different process templates to have different POs. Right now, we can't figure out how to change it from the XTRF default. 

Hi!

Please, tell me, is there a possibility to split a job into more than 2 parts?

Is it possible to select several source languages? For example, there is a document in English to be translated into Russian, and in this document there is a sea in Chinese also to be translated.  

Is it possible to assign one and the same document to more than one vendor? For example, a test translation when several versions are required.

Not sure if I should put this under Q&A or under suggestions, but I was wondering if there is a possibility to add client-linked (not project-linked) reference files to the client profile, so that they are accessible and downloadable by the vendor from the vendor portal for each job of that client. We have a workaround with LiveDocs in memoQ, but this option is only valid for our memoQ users and not for the other thousands of translators.

Hi,

Not sure if this topic has already been brought up by someone else... I couldn't spot it in any case, so better safe than sorry.

I don’t know about the other LSP’s, but we process hundreds of InDesign files a week for our clients. We always upload the PDF as a reference file to the project as only very few of our translators have InDesign licenses installed. But, problem is that reference files are not shared with the vendors, before they accept our job offers. So unless we manually send the PDFs in an e-mail, our vendors just accept the job without even having watched the files upfront. Risky business, often leading to frustration.

It would be great to have such files available on vendor portal before job approval by vendor.

We are getting language-specific files from a client, and would like to use Smart projects but I don't see a way of adding files to be translated to specific languages only.

In a classic project you can use bundles to categorize files that will go through a specific workflow, so I am looking for an equivalent way of doing this in a Smart project.

Does anyone have any idea how this can be done?

Is it possible to split files between vendors working on the same project?

Let's imagine a project that needs at least 2 translators working on each file. In this scenario, the file needs to be split into 2 or 3 parts (they can either be equally divided or not). Only 1 translator will be responsible for each part. Is it necessary to split the documents locally and to upload each part to the project (uploading 3 files instead of only one), or is there an option to split a file that has already been uploaded to XTRF?
