Large-scale projects are run by Project Managers, while small-scale projects can be run by either Project Managers or translators. Project completion requires the work of several individuals: translators, reviewers, project managers.
The Project Manager role and its associated activities
The Project Manager role is attributed to individuals who are in charge of overseeing the entire translation-review activity, with chores such as customer communication, work distribution, and work collection. Project managers can:
- Create projects
- Integrate projects in a translation-review workflow:
- Project Package workflows
- Project Package workflows via SDL WorldServer
- Project workflows via SDL Trados GroupShare
- Project workflows for a Regulated Industry
- Customize project settings
- Generate project reports
- Add project files to existing projects
- Add translation memories (TMs) to existing projects
- Add termbases (TBs)
- Mark projects as Complete to distribute them to customers
Project team members and their associated activities
Translators and reviewers are the project team members who receive work from the Project Manager or who run their own individual projects.
Translators and reviewers who receive work from project managers can:
- Open files in SDL Trados Studio for translation or review
- Create return packages to send completed work to project managers
- Create return packages to return translations which need further work
- Open and work with SDL Trados GroupShare projects
- Check files from and to SDL Trados GroupShare
Translators and reviewers who do not work for a translation company and run their own projects can perform activities which depend on the type of SDL Trados Studio license they purchase.
