Queue a translation job

After you fill in all the details, you can choose what to do with your translation job; either start to Translate or Queue the job. To put a job on hold, you can Queue it. Inspire prepares the files for translation and locks the files. No translation request is sent to an integrated application yet. To start the manual translation work or work with a vendor, you must either Send for Quote or Submit the job when you are ready.

You can queue a translation job for all types of Translation Projects.

Create a queued translation job

Keep the Translate component screen open

If you are only queuing a job because you need to access other inspire screens to get information, you can now just minimize the Translate component screen and go to other Inspire screens.

When you open the Translate component screen to fill out the details for a translation request, you can now minimize this screen to go and check other Inspire screens for information.

  • The Translate component screen now functions as a secondary window that appears on top of the Inspire dashboard or any other module you're working in.
  • You can only have one Translate component screen open at a time.

  • In the Translate component screen, you can use the minimize control to temporarily hide the screen.

  • You see a blue title bar with the name of the Translate component screen in the bottom right corner of the Inspire app.

  • To restore the minimized screen, click the minimize icon again.

The Queuing process

If you select Queue, you are putting the translation job on hold until you do ONE of the following:

  • Send for quote

    Important notes:

    • In Inspire, an administrator must configure a Translation Integration Method to allow the use of quotes. Enable quotes for translation projects
    • In GlobalLink Enterprise, an administrator must configure the associated Translation Project. Configure a GlobalLink project for quotes
    • Quotes must be approved for translation work to begin.

      The Inspire user does not have to approve all quotes before translation work begins in GlobalLink Enterprise. However, this behavior may vary depending on how you have configured your Project in GlobalLink Enterprise.

      If you are using multiple vendors, a vendor can only begin work if you approve the quote. Not approving a quote for a vendor may result in a translation job being only partially completed. You may have to Force complete the job and resubmit a new translation job for the language or vendors who quote you did not approve.

    • If you request a quote, translation work is automatically started after you approve the quotes. You do NOT have to manually Submit the job. Approve a quote for a translation job
    • If you don't want to approve quotes, you must cancel the translation job.
