The project management constitutes the administrative basis for translation processes with Across.

The first step is the creation of the project, which includes the selection of the contents to be translated, target languages, deadlines, and quality criteria.

When the documents are checked in, the content is separated from the formatting data and checked for translation memory matches. Optionally, 100% matches can be inserted in the target text as pre-translation.

The individual tasks resulting from the target languages and the selected workflows are delegated under consideration of qualifications and capacities: either directly to the individual translators or correctors via crossLAN/crossWAN/crossWeb or en bloc to a service provider via crossGrid.

During the entire duration of the project, information about the progress of the individual subtasks is available, thereby guaranteeing maximum transparency for all involved.

The final step of the project is an informative report containing all relevant figures regarding the volume, the rate of repetitions, and quality criteria. The report serves as a basis for controlling and billing.

The archived project can be reactivated at all times, e.g. for an update workflow in case the translation needs to be modified due to changes in the source text.

For further automation, e.g. of recurring projects with identical parameters, Across system integrators and technology partners offer optional tools.

Project control is a basic feature of Across that is included in the product scope of the Across Language Server.

Interactive tutorials about project management with Across are available at our Training Center.
