Run your translation office's workflow for unclassified administrative records in one place. Requests come in from staff or through the Work API, go to linguists by language, proficiency level and workload, are checked by a second linguist in QA review, are certified by a certifying linguist other than the translator where the request needs it, and are delivered with a printable cover sheet. Your linguists do the translating, not the app. Every assignment, QA result, certification and due-date change is kept with who made it, and turnaround, backlog, throughput and quality are reported from your own records.

What it is for

Translation requests reach the office from many directions and are tracked in inboxes and spreadsheets. Work goes to whoever is free rather than the linguist qualified in the language and dialect, second-linguist checks are skipped when a deadline presses, and the same terms are translated differently from one linguist to the next. Afterwards nobody can say how long requests took, which languages are falling behind or which translations were checked before they went out.

  • Requests wait while coordinators work out who is free and qualified
  • Urgent requests sit in the same pile as routine ones
  • Recurring terms are translated differently by each linguist
  • Nobody can show which translations a second linguist checked

Who uses it

  • Linguists and translators who translate, gist and check documents
  • Requesting offices that follow their requests and receive the translations
  • Mission managers who set request priorities and due dates
  • Intelligence oversight officers responsible for handling rules
  • Translation office managers who set targets, levels and capacity

Before you start

  • Your organization licenses Foreign Language Translation Workflow for Intel from Moraph.
  • A Moraph client account in that organization, signed in. A new account you create yourself isn’t in an organization yet: see step 1.
  • Access to Foreign Language Translation Workflow for Intel in Moraph Apps, given by an administrator in the Moraph Portal under People and access.
  • For setup: the product administrator role.

Steps to get started

  1. If your account isn’t in your organization yet, ask to join your organization in the Moraph Portal; you can’t join your organization’s workspace on your own. If your organization isn’t set up with Moraph yet, Moraph sets it up and turns on the product, then approves your request. There’s no set response time: you get an email when the request is answered.

  2. Sign in at apps.moraph.com with your Moraph account.

  3. Open Foreign Language Translation Workflow for Intel from the launcher. The first time anyone opens it, its workspace is created from the default described in Sign in to read Workspace reference.

  4. Check your role: what you can see and do depends on it. See Sign in to read Roles and permissions.

  5. Product administrators: work through Sign in to read Set up Foreign Language Translation Workflow for Intel before your team starts.

  6. Everyone else: start with Sign in to read Everyday tasks.
