How It Works

In this workflow:

• The Segment Asset action applies the translation memory to the assets and identifies ICE and 100% matches.
• The workflow locks all segments identified as ICE matches.
• In the Translate step, the translator is restricted from modifying the translations for any of the locked segments, that is, the segments that have already been translated and reviewed.
• In the Review step, the reviewer might approve most of the translations, but reject a few. The reviewer can choose to lock all approved segments and leave the rejected segments unlocked.
• When the Translate step is revisited, just the rejected segments are unlocked and modifiable; the approved segments are locked.
• In the Review step, the Reviewer may approve the translation of all segments.
• In the Unlock Segments step, all segments are unlocked and become modifiable again.
• In the Save step, the new target asset is generated and the TM is updated.
