The translate5 basic workflow knows three workflow roles:
- translator (translator, if it is a translation task)
- proofreader (first or only editor),
- translatorCheck (second editor, if needed),
- and visitor (not part of the workflow chain; can only view content).
Workflow Steps
The translate5 basic workflow knows two three workflow steps:
- "Translating" (1st step allocated by the role as an translator)
- "Proofreading" (1st 2st step allocated by the role as an proofreader)
- "checking of editing" (2nd 3nd Step allocated by the role as a translatortranslatorCheck)
It is possible to allocate only users with the role as an editor (proofreader) to a task in the workflow - then the second workflow step is omittedfirst and third workflow steps are omitted.
In general the used workflow steps are depending on the chosen user roles, so if no translation is needed, no translators are chosen, no translation step is performed.
The role as a visitor is not allocated to any workflow step. It has no function in the workflow chain.
A user with the role as a project manager is able to open a task in the workflow for viewing at any time. He is able to edit any task, which is not currently opened by another user.
Workflow Status of Task Allocations
Each allocation of a user with a role to a workflow step has a workflow status. The translate5 basic workflow knows the following workflow statuses:
- Open: The task can be currently processed by the user.
- Waiting: The user can process the task as soon as it is his turn in the workflow (he can view it, though).
- Finished: The user completed the processing of the task and thus cannot open it for processing anymore (he can view it, though).
The project manager is able to change each task allocation for each user at any time.
