Workflow stages and assignments
Every file moves through three stages:
Translation → Revision → Proofreading
Segments carry a matching status as they progress: Draft → Translated → Reviewed → Approved.
Automation level
The project's Workflow Type (set at creation, editable later under Workflow Settings) controls how much of the pipeline runs without a human:
| Workflow type | Translation | Revision | Proofreading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual (default) | human | human | human |
| Auto Translation Only | automatic | human | human |
| Automatic End-to-End | automatic | automatic | human |
Proofreading is always manual — a human signs off before delivery.
Workflow settings
Under Edit Workflow Settings on the project page you control how stages progress:
- Auto-approve Threshold — segments whose quality score meets the threshold are approved automatically in automated stages.
- Quality Threshold — the score below which segments are held for human attention.
- Stage progression — whether files advance to the next stage automatically or wait for a manual hand-off.
- Email on workflow actions — notify assignees when a stage completes or work is assigned to them.
Assigning work
Each stage of each file can be assigned to a team member (or left open to Anyone). Assignees see their work queued and are notified when a file reaches their stage. Per-file assignment lets you split a large project across linguists — one per file, or one per stage.
Tracking progress
The project page shows per-file Stage and Status, plus overall progress across the project. The Audit History records stage transitions, so you can always reconstruct who moved what and when.
