Objective
Term approval tasks are assigned as an extra step before the actual HumanAI task starts. The objective is to check a list of terms which were automatically extracted from the customer's uploaded source file and afterwards AI-translated. Your job is to go through this list of terms and make sure they fit the purpose of being used as future glossary entries and applied to the upcoming translation projects ensuring consistent terminology.
Assignment
Task approval tasks are assigned in the same way as all other tasks and once a new task comes up, it will appear as assigned on your dashboard.
Open the task to get to the task card giving you more information. It's also here where you have to either accept or decline your task:
Once you've accepted the task, you will have the option to enter the editor to start working on your assignment:
Working on the task
In the task, you will be given the extracted source term and its target equivalent. From here, it is your responsibility to check all the extracted terms and theirs translations and assess if they need editing and approving or they should be deleted.
At the bottom you can see amount of confirmed and edited terms, as well as flip pages.
To edit a term, you simply write in the term's target entry’s segment and approve it by clicking the toggle on the right, which will turn green. This action will also change the entry type from synthetic to human.
When clicking the little arrow left of the source term, a context view will expand, showing you the segment from the source file where the term appears. This should help you to consider the correct term translation for the context.
You also have the option to delete pairs of term by clicking the trash bin on the far right. A pop-up window will ask you to confirm the deletion of the entry.
You can bulk update several entries by selecting them with the tick boxes on the left side of the list. With the bulk update function you are able to change the status for more than one entry at a time (unconfirmed/confirmed & synthetic/human). You also have the option to bulk delete some or all terms.
All terms have to be finally approved before you are able to finalise the task.
Term approval tasks are remunerated based on your translation rate times 1.5. E.g. if your usual translation word rate is 0.05€, your term approval word rate will be 0.075€.
