Translator Status 

Use

The translator status is a safety mechanism that prevents junior translators from changing terms in the proposal pool created by more experienced translators, for instance.

Integration

Three different statuses can be assigned to translators for proposal pool maintenance.:

These statuses are assigned in transaction SLWA when the coordinator creates or changes a translator.

Features

In the proposal pool, you can see the status of the translator who created or changed a term (Translation status) by calling up the Proposal Pool: Text Details.

When a translator creates or changes a term, the translator’s status is automatically assigned to the term.

Activities

You can only change a term in the proposal pool if you satisfy one of the following criteria:

For more information, see Proposal Pool: Text Details.

You can change terms in the proposal pool that you have entered yourself.

If you change a term, your user name and status will be assigned to it.

The term Finanzdisposition has been translated as Cash Management and Forecasting by a Senior translator. The translation therefore has status 2.

As a Junior translator, you will not be able to change this translation, as your translator status is 1.

As an Advanced translator, you can change the term to Cash Management and Forecast. The translation will now have the status 3 and cannot be changed by a Junior or Senior translator.
