Requesting translation
Requesting translation can be initiated from the navigation bar (Request Translation) or by clicking on the Translate Now button. Both options will quickly take a Requester to the page where a translation order can be placed.
Having clicked on Request Translation or Translate Now, the Requester will be taken to a standard screen for a user to create a translation request from within XTM Portal. The available options are:
Upload or drop a file
Paste text (no limit on the number of characters, however only the first 250 words will be visible on the translation confirmation page)
Name the project (provided that this option has been activated by the XTM Portal Administrator)
Choose a source language
Choose target languages
Choose a default subject matter from a dropdown menu
Add reference files to help the linguist
Add comments to customize a request
Pay for translation (provided that such an option has been activated by the XTM Portal Administrator)
