+
*'''[[File:123.png|180px|link=Evaluator user manual]]'''
  
*'''compare''' unedited translation made by translator with edited version received from an editor;
+
*'''[[File:tr.png|180px|link=Translator user manual]]'''
 
 
*'''generate a report''' about editor’s corrections;
 
 
 
*'''classify''' each correction by mistake type and severity, thus allowing to get the translation quality evaluation score with a maximum 100 points;
 
 
 
*ensure '''anonymous communication''' between a translator and an editor regarding corrections and mistakes classification;
 
 
 
*'''automate a process''' of maintaining the evaluation project;
 
 
 
*'''save''' all evaluated translations '''in the database''' and create the translation quality reports at the company:
 
 
 
you can '''create the list of top translators''' with the highest score, '''see dynamics of quality''' per individual translator by month, etc.
 
 
 
 
 
=='''Start without registration'''==

Now you have an account. We need to add your translators, managers and evaluators in the system. Please see the next chapter.
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:Redirect.jpg|40px|link=User manual]] Back to the '''table of contents'''.
 
 
 
=='''Adding users'''==
 
 
 
You can add users manually, one by one, or import their list from an Excel file. Each of these options is described below.
 
 
 
==='''Adding users manually'''===
 
 
 
To add a new user, Go to '''Users => New user''':
 
 
 
[[file:UM New user.jpg|border|250px]]

*'''Administrator'''
 
 
 
For more detailed information on System roles, please see the '''<U>[[New user#System role|System roles]]</U>''' section.
 
 
 
==='''Import users from Excel'''===
 
 
 
If you already have the list of users with their contact info, you can easily import it without the need to enter such information manually.
 
 
 
To do so, go to the '''Users=>Import from Excel''':
 
 
 
[[file:UM Import.jpg|border|250px]]
 
 
 
For more detailed instructions on users import, please see the '''<U>[[Import users from Excel]]</U>''' page.
 
 
 
Now, when all users are added, we may start working with projects. Please see the next chapter.
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:Redirect.jpg|40px|link=User manual]] Back to the '''table of contents'''.
 
 
 
 
 
=='''Project creation'''==
 
 
 
Creating a translation quality evaluation project takes a minute or two.
 
 
 
The manager has just to appoint the project evaluator, project translator, project arbiter, enter some basic project info, and let the system take care about the project.
 
 
 
To start a new project, go to '''Projects=>New project''':
 
 
 
[[file:New project menu.jpg|border|250px]]
 
 
 
Fill in the blank and press the "'''Create'''" button:
 
 
 
[[file:Project creation page1.jpg|border|400px]]
 
 
 
*'''TMS translation job code''' - project code, entered by manager.
 
 
 
*'''TMS review job code''' - project code, entered by manager (differs from translation job code).
 
 
 
*'''Source language''' - language being translated from.
 
 
 
*'''Target language''' - language being translated to.
 
 
 
*'''Specialization''' - select translation specialization (first it should be created: System => Specialization => New specialization).
 
 
 
*'''CAT word count''' - the number of words the translator is paid for.
 
 
 
*'''Project translator''' - user, that performs translations (may be assigned for everyone).
 
 
 
*'''Project evaluator''' - user, that evaluates translations (may be assigned for everyone, excluding translator).
 
 
 
*'''Project arbiter''' - user, that becomes judge between translator and evaluator in controversial situations,
 
arbiter’s decision about evaluation is final (may be assigned for everyone, excluding translator).
 
 
 
*'''Note for evaluator'''- manager may leave additional information for evaluator here.
 
 
 
<span style="color:red">'''Note 1:''' Manager may assign himself as the '''Project arbiter''', '''Project evaluator''' or '''Project translator'''.</span>
 
 
 
<span style="color:red">'''Note 2:''' System role for the '''Arbiter''' may be Evaluator, Manager or Administrator.</span>
 
 
 
The new project will appear in the list.
 
 
 
To see the project details, select the ID number:
 
 
 
[[file:project ID clicking.jpg|border|1000px]]
 
 
 
It will open the '''<U>[[Project details|Project details]]</U>''' page.
 
 
 
The manager can control the project: edit & download project files, reassign participants (manager, translator, evaluator or arbiter) or delete this project at all:
 
 
 
[[file:Project details page.jpg|border|500px]]
 
 
 
<span style="color:red">'''Note:''' Evaluator (not manager) uploads the files. Manager may only download them, if needed:</span>
 
 
 
[[file:Upload files evaluator page.jpg|border|700px]]
 
 
 
Now, the project has been created, and manager can forget about it. The system sends an email notification to the project evaluator,
 
 
 
who has to follow the instructions from the next chapter.
 
 
 
[[File:Redirect.jpg|40px|link=User manual]] Back to the '''table of contents'''.
 
 
 
=='''Files comparison'''==
 
 
 
After receiving an evaluation request from the system, the project evaluator has to compare edited files with unedited ones.
 
 
 
First, evaluator uploads them:
 
 
 
[[file:Upload files button Ev account.jpg|border|250px]]
 
 
 
Then, he has to choose files to compare and click "'''Upload selected files'''":
 
 
 
[[file:Upload selected files button Ev account.jpg|border|300px]]
 
 
 
 
 
Files uploaded:
 
 
 
[[file:files uploaded EV account.jpg|border|600px]]
 
 
 
The evaluator may select several files by using "'''Browse'''" buttons.
 
 
 
After uploading, please click "'''Create comparison report'''":
 
 
 
[[file:create comparison report button Ev Acc.jpg|border|800px]]
 
 
 
The сomparison report has word count for each segment, useful statistics and filters.
 
 
 
You may even export the report to Excel.
 
 
 
 
 
Let’s continue - press "'''Start evaluation'''":
 
 
 
[[file:comparison report.jpg|border|1200px]]
 
 
 
You may configure evaluation process:
 
 
 
[[file:Start evaluation presettings.jpg|border|600px]]
 
 
 
*'''Skip locked units''' - hide "freezed" units (for example client wants some parts, extremely important for him, stayed unchanged and block them, and extra units slow down editor’s work).
 
 
 
*'''Skip segments with match >=''' - fuzzy match percentage. The program will hide segments with match greater than or equal to, that you specified.
 
 
 
*'''Evaluation sample word count limit''' - quantity of words in edited segments, chosen for evaluation.
 
 
 
 
 
Press "'''Start evaluation'''":
 
 
 
[[file:Start evaluation button.jpg|border|600px]]
 
 
 
The evaluation started.
 
 
 
For convenience, you may view every segment in comparison report - use "'''View in comparison'''":
 
 
 
[[file:view in comparison.jpg|border|600px]]
 
 
 
 
 
When you have evaluated all segments press "'''Complete evaluation'''":
 
 
 
[[file:Complete evaluation button.jpg|border|400px]]
 
 
 
Describe translation in general or give advice to the translator and press the "'''Complete'''" button:
 
 
 
[[file:complete evaluation details page (complete).jpg|border|400px]]
 
 
 
After generating the comparison report, the system sends the notification to the translator, and the translator may see all the corrections done in his deliveries.
 
 
 
For more info on evaluation, please see the '''<U>[[Evaluation report]]</U>''' page.
 
 
 
But this is just the beginning - the project evaluator may start quality assessment process. Please see the next chapter for more info.
