View ArticleProject managers can add users from the communities page in the TMS if the Community Admin enables their access to the Community Members page.
Once you have added all the necessary users, be sure to organize them into teams based on language, projects they manage, the content they work with, or their role.
Adding Community Members - Full Project Manager
Full Project managerscan
Add and invite users individually or in bulk.
Only grant them the Project Manager role or Linguist role.
To add new community members,
ChooseCommunityfrom the side bar and selectCommunity Members.
A dialog box will appear with three tabs:
New User
Existing User
Bulk Import
New User
On the New User tab, the Project Manager can choose to send an invite or to simply add a user.
To send an invite:
Lingotek Support Center
SelectNew Community Member.
Check the box next toSend Invite.
Enter the name and email of the user you wish to invite.
Optionally give the Project Manager role to the user by checking the box.If left empty, the user will have the linguist role.
SelectSave.
If an invitation is sent, the user will create their own user name and password.
If you do not wish to send an invitation:
SelectNew Community Member.
Do not check the box next toSend Invite.
Provide the individual with a login ID. Enter their name and email.
Optionally give the Project Manager role to the user by checking the box.If left empty, the user will have the linguist role.
Enter and confirm a password for the user.
SelectSave.
The user will be sent an email with their username and password. They will also be prompted to change their password the first time they login.
Existing User
An existing user is someone who belongs to the project manager's default organization but does not belong to the community they are inviting them to.
SelectNew Community Member.
Switch to theExisting Usertab.
Type the name of the user in the search box and matches will appear. Select the correct user.
Give the user a project manager or linguist role.
SelectSave.
Bulk Import
SelectNew Community Member.
Switch to theBulk Importtab.
SelectChoose Fileand upload a csv file with the following columns:
Name,Email,Username,Role
IfRoleis left blank, the user will be assigned the linguist role.
Choose to whether or not to send an invite.
If you selectSend Invite, the user will be sent an email with a link to set up their own password. You also have the option to send a personal message with the email.
If you leaveSend Inviteblank, then you will assign a password to all users in the csv file. They will all be prompted to change their emails when they log in for the first time.
SelectSave.
The bulk import option does two things:
It first looks at the Username listed in the Username column and checks if that Login ID can be associated with an existing user of the default community of the user who ran the bulk user import. If that user does exist, then that user is invited into the client's community instead of creating a new user.
If there isn't a user associated with that Username, then a new user is created and they are either sent an invitation or given the password you set.
Adding Community Members - Vendor Project Manager
Vendor Project Managerscan:
Add, but not invite,users individually or in bulkwho are from their organization.
Only grant them the Vendor Project Manager role or Linguist role.
Existing User
A vendor PM can only add users who are members of their default organization.
SelectNew Community Member.
Switch to theExisting Usertab.
Type the name of the user in the search box and matches will appear. Select the correct user.
Give the user a vendor project manager or linguist role.
SelectSave.

SelectChoose Fileand upload a csv file with the following columns:
Username,Role
IfRoleis left blank, the user will be assigned the linguist role.
To assign a user in the bulk upload a Vendor Project Manager role, enter the value "PM"
SelectSave.
The bulk import option does two things:
It first looks at the Username listed in the Username column and checks if that Login ID can be associated with an existing user of the default community of the user who ran the bulk user import. If that user does exist, then that user is invited into the client's community instead of creating a new user.
If there isn't a user associated with that Username, then a new user is created and they are either sent an invitation or given the password you set.

View ArticleAnalysis Mappings
Lingotek Support Center
Lingotek applies TM Match labels according to percent match (100\% - Exact, 99-95\% - High, 94-50\% - Low Fuzzy). These percentages display to linguists and are often used to determine translator pricing. If you would like to modify these settings,
Sign in as an administrator.
ChooseCommunity from the side bar and select Customization.
From the left menu, select Translation Memory.
A range of TM Match percentages will appear on the left (100\%, 99-95\%, 94\% and below). Using the drop down menus, scroll to select which percentages should display as Exact, High Fuzzy, and Low Fuzzy matches.
Click to Save your work.
If you would like to reset your Analysis Mappings, choose Restore Defaults.
The image above is our default Analysis Mapping configuration.
Public Vaults
As a community admin you have the ability to enable/disable public vaults. When public vaults are enabled, users can create and/or save TM units to a vault that's shared with all TMS users in the community.
Sign in as an administrator.
ChooseCommunity from the side bar and select Customization.
From the left menu, select Translation Memory.
UnderPublic Vaults check/uncheckEnable Public Vaults according to your preference.
Weighted Word Count
Weighted Word Counts (WWC) give project managers and linguists a more accurate idea of how much actual work needs to be done in a task than by looking at the Total Word Count. The system multiplies the word count for each TM leverage bucket by the percentage that you set (see below) to give an indication of how much work needs to be done. As a Community Admin, you have the ability to decide how WWC will be calculated.
Sign in as an administrator.
ChooseCommunity from the side bar and select Customization.
From the left menu, select Translation Memory.
Under theWeighted Word Count (WWC)section, you can edit and create WWC configurations.
Choose the metadata field the system will look at when deciding which configuration to use.
To create a new Configuration, select the 'plus' icon.
Give your WWC Configuration a Name.
Choose which fields the document's metadata must match to use this configuration.
Decide whether or not to make this the default configuration.
If the document metadata does not match any configurations, the default configuration will be used.
Choose the percentage value a TM Match Type will have compared to a 'whole word.'
If you set your 74\% - 50\% TM Match type to 70\%, and a segment with a 74\% - 50\% Fuzzy match has aTotal Word Count of 10, thenWWCwill equal 7 for that TM leverage bucket.
Save or Cancel as needed.
To edit an existing Configuration, select the 'pencil' icon.
To delete an existing Configuration, select the 'x' icon.
You cannot delete the Default Configuration until you make a different configuration the default.

View ArticleFor convenience, Lingotek organizes and partitions translation memory into what we refer to as TM (Translation Memory) vaults. TM vaults contain TM generated from translating documents across any project where that vault is used as the Save to vault.
A project requires aSave to vaultbefore it can be created. We recommend creating a TM vault during the initial setup even if you do not have any pre-existing translation memory to upload.
To ensure only approved translations are leveraged, some users create a “Working” vault and an “Approved” vault. Once the project is complete, they move the “Working” TM to the “Approved” vault.
Create as many (or as few) TM vaults as needed.
To start uploading your translation memory, create a new TM vaultandupload yourexisting TM.

View ArticleLingotek offers several pre-made workflows, or you can build your own.
Phase Types
Phases can be given any name the user requires. However, the phase type cannot be changed. The phase types were created to handle different types of work and may interact differently with the other applications in Lingotek's TMS. You should understand the basic differences before creating your workflow.
Phase Type
Description
Interactions
Leverage TM
This phase is where the source is analyzed and then the target translation is populated with any matching TM.
This phase provides the word count to the Vendor app which allows Vendor to provide accurate quotes. These quotes are available in the Project App and the Portal App.
MT
Machine translation is added to the target translation. It will not remove any leveraged TM.
N/A
Translate
The translate phase is generally where linguists translate the source into the target language.
Regardless of the name of the Translate phase, it will use the Translation rates set in the matching Rate Chart. Translation rates are based on word count only (each TM match can receive a different rate). Work is generally done in Lingotek's Workbench.
Review
The review phase can be used for simple review or In-Context Review (ICR). Linguists see translations submitted in previous phases (whether by humans or MT in the case of PEMT) and then make any necessary edits.
Regardless of the name of the Review phase, it will use the Review rates set in the matching Rate Chart. Review rates are based on word count only (each TM match can receive a different rate). If you pay reviewers on an hourly basis, create a Custom phase instead. This is generally the phase type you use when evaluating translation quality with Quality Programs.
Custom
Custom phases are for work that does not necessarily involve word count (DTP, Pre and Post Engineering). It is also useful to use this phase type for phases that do not involve working on a translation (Customer Approval).
In the Vendor App you set upHourly Rates. The name of your Custom Phase needs to match the name of your Hourly Rate exactly (case sensitive). Custom phases can only be billed based on the number of hours worked. Hours worked are collected by the system when the linguist marks a custom phase complete. Currently, the Vendor app cannot provide quotes for Custom phases in the Project App or Portal app.
Building your workflow structure
To start building a custom workflow,
Choose Project Resourcesfrom the navigation sidebar, select Workflows, and click New Workflow.
Type a name for the workflow and click Save. Once the workflow is saved, you can add new workflow phases (e.g. Leverage TM, Translation, Review, Machine Translation, and Custom).
Lingotek Support Center
You can add phases to the Workflow by clicking on the phase options in the order you wish them to appear.
Phases can be added, removed, or moved as needed.
Workflow Tips
Drag and drop to rearrange workflow phases.
Add as many phases as you would like, including multiple phases of the same type (e.g. Review1, Review2, etc.). Unique phase names are required.
A common workflow could include the following phases in this sequence: Leverage TM + Translate + Review.
Be sure to Save the workflow when you are finished.

Lingotek Support Center
Choosewhether to send WordPress content to Lingotek manually or automatically.
Loading Automatically vs. Loading Manually
Upload content Before you can translate WordPress content, you will want to upload it to Lingotek.
Choose to upload content Automatically or Manually.
Automatically. If you choose to upload contentautomatically, translations for newly created pages will requested automatically. Additionally, changes saved to existing pages will also be sent to Lingotek automatically.
If you need to make many small edits, you may wish to use the manual upload feature instead.
Manually. The manual upload option gives you more control over what content will be translated and when it will be uploaded. Manually request translations for the content of your choice.
Download translations Once translations are complete, choose how to publish them back to your WordPress site.
You can choose to do this automatically (as soon as the translation is complete) or manually (choose which translations to load to WordPress at any given time).
Tip: If you wish to upload some types of content manually and others automatically, be sure to create a custom Translation Profile. The Translation Profile can overwrite the Default settings for selected content.
Additionally, if you are using the full Translation Management System (TMS), you can choose which Project and Workflow you will use for the translation process.
Default Project Lingotek divides your work into translation projects. Projects help you organize and track related documents within the TMS. Scroll to select the Lingotek project you would like to use for the translation of your WordPress site, and click Update the callback URL for this project.
Tip:If you do not see the project you wish to use, click Create New Project. Type the name you wish to use for the new project, click Save, and then click the checkbox next to Update Project URL.
Default Workflow Lingotek workflows help you manage the quality of your translation. For example, for a low quality translation, you may wish to include only two steps machine translate and post edit. For a higher quality translation, the workflow may include more steps (e.g. machine translation, human translation, linguist review, legal review, etc.).
Important!

View ArticleIf you wish to make exceptions to your Default Preferences, you can set up a Translation Profile.
A Translation Profile tells Lingotek how to choose which content will be translated and how to publish completed translations to your WordPress site.
You can use a translation profile to choose how content should be
Uploaded to Lingotek when sending it for translation (i.e.manually or automatically).
Publishedvia WordPress when the translation is complete (i.e.manually or automatically).
The Lingotek plugin comes with three translation profiles.
Lingotek Support Center
The Automaticprofile automatically uploads content to Lingotek for translation; it automatically downloads translated content back to WordPress.
TheManualprofile allows you to manually choose what to upload to Lingotek; it allows for manual download of your completed translations to the WordPress site.
TheDisabledprofile disables translation for a specific content type (e.g. customer comments, blog posts).
If you want to mix and match automatic and manual upload and download options - especially if you want specific settings for each target language, you can create your own translation profile.
For instance, if you want to choose which blog posts will be translated manually, and then would like to load completed translations back to WordPress automatically, you could create a translation profile that uses a Manual upload and an Automatic download.
You can also use a translation profile to decide which content should be translated into which languages.
Create a Translation Profile
To create a translation profile,
From the WordPress Admin menu, select Translation > Settings > Translation Profiles.
Click Add New Profile.
Complete the dialog.
Upload. Scroll to select how you would like to Upload content to Lingotek for translation.
Download. Scroll to select how you would like to Download translations back to WordPress once they are complete.
Optional (for TMS Users): If you want to use a specific project/workflow on your WordPress content, select it here.
Target Languages. Select which languages you would like to translate into.
Tip: If the target language you need does not display, you will need to enable it. Click here for help.
Click to Save Changes to create the profile. This profile will be available for use on the Content Type Configuration tab.
How do I use Translation Profiles?
Translation profiles help you bundle translation preferences for a specific type of content.
For example, your blog posts may need to be translated into both French and Spanish, but regular pages only need to be translated into Spanish.
How can you use a translation profile to address this situation?
Create a translation profile that lists only Spanish as its target language.
Create another translation profile listing both Spanish and French as target languages.
Apply these profiles to the appropriate type of content on the Content Type Configuration tab
Log in as a WordPress administrator.
From the side menu, select Translation > Settings.
Select the Content Type Configuration tab.
Next to Posts, scroll to select the Spanish Only translation profile.
Next to Pages, scroll to select the Spanish-French Translation profile.
Save your changes.
Now all Blog posts will provide a Spanish translation option, and all pages will have both Spanish and French translation options.

View ArticleThe latest version of Lingotek’s WordPress connector now offers language-specific profiles.
Lingotek Support Center Tip: Get the latest version here.
Tip: In order to use language-specific profiles, be sure to enable target languages on the translation Dashboard.
Now you cancustomize any translation profile by language with language-specific profiles.
Language specific profiles let you choose which workflow to use on each target language within a translation profile. Once you’ve enabled Language Specific Profiles, highly customize how content is handled and translated in WordPress.
A language specific profile lets you
Tailor your translation settings when translating into specific languages.
Add extra translation steps for high value languages
Set up machine translation for low value languages (e.g. fringe markets)
Here’s how it works:
Create a workflow in Lingotek
Go into a WordPress translation profile
Open a target language
Apply the new workflow to the target language
When Would I Need a Language Specific Translation Profile?
Situation: You want blog posts machine translated into every language except for Korean.
Solution: Go into the translation profile you’re using for blog posts, click on Korean, and select “Disabled.”
Situation: Because Asian characters often shift text position, you want a graphic designer to review all of your Korean marketing materials.
Solution: Create a workflow with an extra review step, and then apply it to the Korean section of your translation profile.
Here’s how it works.
Go into a translation profile, and choose your default settings.
Unless you specify otherwise, these settings will apply to all content and all languages using the Translation Profile.
If you want to add exceptions for a specific target language, go into the profile, click the desired target language, and then add the desired exceptions (explained below).
How Do Language-Specific Profiles Work?
You can set up language specific profiles - for as many languages as you like - in just a few steps.
First, create the workflow you want to apply to each language in Lingotek.
Then apply the new workflows to the language(s) of your choice.
Create a Lingotek Workflow
Go into Lingotek and create a custom workflow.
You will be able to apply this custom workflow to the language(s) of your choice.
Tip: You can create many workflows in the Lingotek translation management system (and then integrate them into several translation profiles).
Create a Language-Specific Profile
Now you will be able to add language-specific settings to the translation profiles of your choice.
