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:

Auto Translation Onlyautomatichumanhuman
Automatic End-to-Endautomaticautomatichuman

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.
