It is HIGHLY recommended you use the Google Chrome web browser to access the Translation Portal.

You can filter your tasks by the following five predefined filters:

You can adjust the list and choose which filters you wish to see. Click on the folder menu on the top right side, above the list, and you will get the list of all possible tabs to choose from.
You can adjust the list and choose which columns you wish to see. Click on the 3 bars menu on the top right side, above the list, and you will get the list of all possible columns to choose from.

Validation Units / SegmentsThis is where you can see the source segments and the translation in the target segments.
When you click on a segment, it will get highlighted and a blue frame will be surrounding it.
If the segment is not locked (the symbol of it is described below), you will be able to edit it.
You can find several symbols on the right side of the target segments, that bring important information:
|
Symbol |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
|

|

|
|
This segment has a duplicate and they are linked |
|
|
This segment has a duplicate, but they are unlinked |
|

In this segment a numeric pattern has been used for matching |
Mark as doneYou need to "Mark as done" any segment which is not confirmed yet.
You can do it one by one for each segment that you have reviewed, by clicking on the circular icon between source and target unit. After clicking it, the color will change from grey to green:
Or by clicking on a "Mark as done and move to another empty segment" icon at the bottom right corner of the editor:
Or by using the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+ENTER".
You can also mark all segments as done, after your review is finished. To do it click on a "Mark all as done" icon in the top Toolbar:
Leaving commentsYou can click the comment symbol to leave a comment for a particular translation segment.
The following window will appear once the symbol is clicked:
You can write any comment, and add it for the revisors to see it.
It is possible to add several comments for each segment.
Progress, Navigation & Filters
Here you can see the progress of your task. It will progress when you will get your segments marked as done:
Some tasks are long and are composed of numerous source files. For such tasks the Navigation tool can be used to skip directly to a particular file.
The Filter option allows you to show/hide only segments that are of your interest.
Click on a plus icon to add a new filter:
Here on the list you will find a wide scope of different filters. For validators the most valued one is called "Market reviewed", which filters out segments that are either Market Reviewed or not:
Click Add to make the filter work, and you will see only the segments that fulfill the requirements of that filter.

It contains the following:
- Translation Suggestions
- Terminology
- Comments
- Change History

More information below on how to use these features.
When the focus is placed on a segment, the Details pane shows the relevant information for that Validation Unit.
All sections that contain information are automatically expanded and have an indicator showing how many items are present.
Translation Suggestions section
This section shows all the matches (if any) for a particular segment.
If you see a fuzzy match here, it will show the difference between the source text from the Translation Memory, and the source text in the task you are working on:

When you perform a search (see below for more information), the results are listed here.
Spelling
if there are any spelling mistakes in the translation, they will be listed here.

When your validation is complete, as a final step you need to submit it to CBG. In order to do so, click the Hand-in button located in the Toolbar at the top of the page.
To make sure your task has been properly submitted, check that it is in Done status in the dashboard.
Task cancellationIf, for any reason, your task is cancelled, you will see a notification:
It is advised that in such situations you should contact your CBG project administrator if you were not expecting the cancellation.
If your task got cancelled and you cannot contact your project administrator, you can contact CBG by logging a call using the "Request support" feature described here: How to request support?
Notification bannersHave you noticed a notification banner like the ones below?
1) 
2) 
This is a communication system CBG uses to provide important information to users. These notification banners can be divided into two major categories:
- Service Window notification banner: informing about an upcoming service window. Service windows always involve the system being unavailable for a specific period of time.
- Warning Message notification banner: informing about a specific issue that users should know about.
Working offlineIt is possible to continue working in the Translation Portal with limited functionality without the Internet connection, although it will only be possible to work on segments that were already loaded before the connection was lost.
You will not be able to add a comment to a segment. However, the pop-up window which is displayed when adding comments will open.
To the left of the translation you will see the marker notifying that Translation Portal is trying to save your work.
If your Windows session gets locked after a period of inactivity or when you shut your laptop lid, you will still be able to continue on working on your validation task after you are back to the computer and log in to Windows again.
Once the Internet connection is back, you may need to click on "Save changes".
