Translator Profiles 

Use

The translator profile is a safety mechanism that controls the quality statuses that translators can assign to the proposals they create. For example, only coordinators and experienced translators can flag proposals for automatic distribution.

Every translator has a translator profile for his or her target language.

Translator Profile	Quality Status
TG New Translator	Assign: X and B Distribute: A, S, and B
TM External Translator TN Inhouse Translator	Assign: X, B, and S Distribute: A, S, and B
TR External Translator (Advanced) TS Inhouse Translator (Advanced) VG External Coordinator I VJ External Coordinator II VK Inhouse Coordinator	Assign: X, B, S, and A Distribute: A, S, and B
XT PMT XX Super User	Assign: X, B, S, and A Distribute: A, S, B, and X

Integration

Translation coordinators assign a translator profile to every translator that they create in transaction LXE_MASTER. For more information, see Maintaining Translators.

Activities

When you create a proposal in the proposal pool, a dialog box appears, prompting you to assign a quality status to the proposal. Your translator profile determines which quality statuses you can assign in this dialog box. For more information, see Creating Proposals in the Proposal Pool.

If you want to change the quality status of a proposal in the proposal pool, a dialog box appears, prompting you to assign a new quality status to the proposal. Your translator profile determines which quality statuses you can assign in this dialog box. For more information, see Changing the Quality Status of Proposals.

When you use the Distribute Proposals function in the short text editor, a dialog box appears, prompting you to specify the minimum quality status as of which proposals are inserted into empty translation lines. For more information, see Distributing Proposals.
