Issues are problems that arise when globalizing content. Issues can be associated with a particular task (task issues), or can be assigned to a user or workflow role (independent issues).
The issues list provides information about issues that may be relevant to you. Issues can be assigned to a user or workflow role (independent issues), or can be logged for a particular task (task issues).
For example, there is a typo in one task. Because this issue only involves one task, and is not related to any particular user, you should log a task issue from the task list.
In addition, the marketing manager reports that there is a missing graphic on one of the Spanish Web site's pages. Since there is no current project or task associated with this problem, you should log an independent issue from the issues list.
