The main interface for translators is the Translation Editor page.
You can access it by:
- clicking on the Translate button in the Volume Analysis page, or
- opening the previously generated/provided job URL.
The Translation Editor user interface provides translators with all the necessary information and Matecat features available for them to work on translation jobs. Below you will find a description of its elements.
Header
Most of the translation editor features are quite intuitive. We would point out some elements that can be really useful while translating.
The File navigation list lets you see the list of files uploaded into the job. You can either click on the file name to be redirected to the beginning of that file or click on Go to current segment to open the segment you are working on.
While translating you have the possibility to go to the first segment of the job/chunk clicking on the blue arrow you can find down on the left of your screen.
The Download Menu Icon, lets you download the translation once you have finished. But you have also the possibility to download the Draft document(pre-translated with matches from the MT and TM), download the original file, to export the job in xliff format and the job tmx.
The Menu lets you access the Revise mode, the volume analysis, the XLIFF-to-target converter tool and the Shortcuts list.
The Filter feature lets you display only the segments you need to work on, filtering them for status.
The search and replace feature lets you easily find and change terms and sentences within the job.
Footer
The footer shows various information about the job and its current status, plus data regarding the speed at which the job is being completed.
The ID for the current job is shown on the left.
To its right, you can find information regarding the total number of words and the current progress.
The progress bar and percentage show the portion of the translation that has been completed so far (the calculation is based on the raw count).
The next two boxes show respectively the total number of words in the job and how many are still unconfirmed. Both show the raw count in the top row and the weighted count in the bottom one. Clicking the icon in the first box opens the analysis page for the job. CLicking the icon in the second box opens the next unconfirmed segment.
The box on the right shows data regarding the speed at which the job is being completed. The values are calculated initially after the first ten segments have been confirmed and updated every time a new segment is confirmed. The value for the Speed field is shown as words translated per hour; it is calculated based on the raw words. The value for the ETC (Estimated time to complete) field is shown as hours:minutes:seconds.
Once the job is complete, by clicking on the To do counter or the progress bar, the tooltip "Job complete, no untranslated segments left" will be displayed.
