Community Project Tutorial

Community Translation Interface

LingoDex Community Interface

In the Community Translation Interface, translators can vote for the best existing translation or add their own.

The top box is for entering a new translations. Translators enter a translation here, and then click the plus icon to save the translation and move to the next segment.

Below the top box are the translations submitted by other translators. If one of these translations is correct, then a translator can vote for that translation instead of adding their own.

Community Project Creation

Create a Community Phase Template

Because none of the default Translation Process templates include Community phase types, you will need to create a new template before starting your first community project.

1. Open the Phase Template page by clicking Quick Links > Phase Templates
2. Click New Template to create a new phase template

1. Give the template a name (something like "Community Translation and Review")
2. Add as many phases as you would like in your template
   • Additional non-Community phases can be added before or after Community phases. For example, you could add an Assigned phase after a Community phase, to allow an in-house translator to review the work of community translators.
3. Click Create Template

When you create a new project or add new documents to a project, you will now be able to apply this template, which applies the set of phases that you saved. Documents created with community templates will immediately become available to the community for translation.
