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). After you have looked up a user, you can see the last time that they have logged in, and you can give or remove Project Management rights.

Alternatively, you can click "Show all community members" to see everyone in your community.

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.

Translators

The Translators Report shows all of the translators 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.

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.

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.

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

Accept Segment Conditions

This allows you to edit how many votes a translation must receive in the community review phase in order to be accepted. Once a translation receives the required number of votes, it will be hidden in the review interface, and will be sent to the next phase.

Timeouts

This setting allows you to edit how long a self-assigned document will stay assigned to a user who isn't actively working on it.

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 would like you can even allow people to sign up for a team when they sign up for your community. Just change the value in <input name="team" value="" type="hidden"> to the name of the 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.
