Track progress and reassign work

Once work is out with your team, everything you need to follow it lives on the project page.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open the project and click the chevron on a job row to expand its tasks.

  2. Read the task table:

    ColumnWhat it tells you
    TypePost-Edit AI Translation, Revision, or Proofreading
    StatusReady to Start, In Progress, Completed, or Blocked
    ProgressSegments the assignee has saved, out of every segment in the job
    DeadlineWhen the work is due
    Assigned ToWho has it, with a red ✕ if they declined

    Expanded job row showing the task table with status and progress

  3. To see the translation itself without disturbing anyone, click Preview on the job row. The editor opens read-only: you can read every segment and the TM and glossary panels, but you cannot change anything.

  4. The Actions column on a task row gives you four icons:

    IconWhat it does
    PencilEdit the task — change its type, deadline, or description
    TrashDelete the task
    Speech bubbleOpen task comments
    InfoOpen Assignment History

    Assignment History lists every assignment the task has had, with its status and the times it was assigned, accepted, and rejected or submitted. It is the record of who was asked and what they did.

Reassigning a declined task

If someone declines, a Reassign button appears on the task row. Click it, pick a different team member or external linguist, and confirm. The new assignee is notified the same way as the first.

The old assignment stays in Assignment History, so the trail of who was asked and when is preserved.

note

Reassign only appears once an assignment has been declined. To hand over work someone has already accepted, ask them to decline it first, or add a fresh task for the new person.

Reading progress correctly

The Progress column is a plain fraction: segments the assignee has saved, divided by every segment in the job. It shows both, like 184/340 (54%).

Saving is what marks a segment reviewed, whether the assignee changed the text or approved it as it stood. What does not count is reading a segment and moving on — Taia has no way to see that, so a reviewer who reads everything but only saves their corrections will finish well short of 100%.

That makes a low percentage a prompt to ask, not evidence that nothing happened. It is also worth telling reviewers up front to save every segment they have looked at, so the number means what it appears to mean. See what counts as a reviewed segment.

The percentage is not a status ladder. It does not step through assigned, accepted, in progress and submitted at 25% intervals. Where the work stands is the Status column and the assignment status; the percentage only ever counts segments.

When work comes back

When an assignee submits, you get an email and an in-app notification, and the task row shows a Submitted badge.

From that moment the assignee can no longer change the translation, so what you review is what you download. Review the result with Preview, and talk to the assignee through task comments if something needs another look. When you're happy, download the edited files.

If a correction turns up after submission, click Add Task on the same job row and assign a second pass. The submitted work stays as it was and the new round is tracked separately. See what happens after a task is submitted.

note

Translation Studio is deliberately simple: there is no formal approve or reject step on a submission. Reviewing means reading it in Preview and, if it's good, downloading the files. If it isn't, comment on the task or add another task for a second pass.
