Jump to: navigation, search

Organizations can set up a translation community within Lingotek, which allows them to recruit and manage translators working on their content. Community Admins have a top-down view of what is happening in their community, with various options for managing their community.

Contents

Interface

If you have Community Admin rights, then a Community Admin tab will appear when you log in.

Manage Community Members

This interface allows you to look up users in your community, by their Login ID (usually their email address), or by clicking Show All Community Members. After you have looked up a user, you can see the last time that they have logged in, and you can change their user rights.

Is Community Member determines whether the user is part of your community. If you remove this right, then the user will no longer be able to log in to your community. Is Project Manager gives the user Project Management rights. If it is set to true, then they will be able to create projects, manage projects, create TM Vaults and dictionaries, etc. Is Community Admin gives the user the right to manage other users, add new users, see community reports, etc.

Create Community Member

This interface allows you to create new Lingotek accounts in your community. Enter an Email, Password, and Display Name for the user. They can now log into Lingotek, with translator rights.

Community Projects

Clicking the Community Projects link will show you all of the active projects in your community. You can choose whether to group the projects by project, or by language pair.

Community Reports

Community Reports give you a view into what is happening in your community, and who the active translators and project managers are.

Community Statistics

The Community Statistics Report gives a high-level overview of all of the activity in your community, together with some graphs showing how that activity has changed over time.

Project Managers

The Project Managers Report shows the activity that has occurred in the projects of each project manager in your community.

Teams

The Project Managers Report shows the activity that has occurred in the projects of each project manager in your community.

Translators

The Team Report shows each of the teams in the community, together with their activity over time.

Flagged Translators

The Flagged Translators Report shows all of the translators who have had some of their translations flagged.

Customization Options

As a Community Administrator, you can customize your community settings.

Points Awarded

This option lets you adjust how many points each action is worth in your community. If you find, for example, that documents are not being reviewed quickly enough, then you can increase the point value for reviewing segments.

  • Translate a New Segment - Points for adding a new translation.
  • Review a Segment - Points for an assigned/self-assigned reviewer reviewing or editing a segment.
  • Have a Translation Accepted - Points for having one of your translations accepted in a Community Phase.
  • Have a Translation Flagged - Points for having one of your translations flagged as inappropriate in a Community Phase (generally this will be negative points).
  • Vote on a Segment - Points for voting for a translation in a Community Phase.
  • Have a Vote Accepted - Points for having the translation that you voted for accepted in a Community Phase.

Note that changing the score affects how future actions are scored, and does not affect past actions.

Accept Segment Conditions

This sets the default for how many votes a translation must receive in the community review phase in order to be accepted. This default will be applied to all new projects, but can be changed on each project.

Timeouts

This setting allows you to edit how long a self-assigned document will stay assigned after a user stops working on it.

Teams

This allows you to edit whether teams are created and managed by community members themselves, or by Community Admins. If it is set to true, then community members can create, join, and leave any of the teams in the community.

If this is set to false, then only community admins can create teams, or add and remove users from teams.

Tags

Tags are metadata strings that describe a document, and are saved along with the TM from a translated document. Translation Memories with the same tag as the current document will be prioritized.

In this interface you can manage which tags will be available for your Project Managers.

Generate Signup

Copy and paste the code on this page into an external website. This will allow your community members to sign up from any site. If you put a team name as the value in <input name="team" value="" type="hidden">, then when users sign up they will be added to that team.

Generate Leaderboard

Copy and paste the code on this page into an external website. This will allow your community members to see a continually updated leaderboard for your community. If you would like, you can also choose a team on this page, which will generate a leaderboard for just that team.
