BWX Improvements - August 2023

We're always striving for better. Good news! We have new platform updates tailored just for you. They're designed to boost your work quality and save you some time ⏳.

‍

Detachable Preview

‍What it does

We all see screens getting bigger by the day - phones, monitors, TVs... Ever wonder what TVs will look like in 40 years? I'd probably need a bigger wall! 😂 Whatever your tech style might be, you can now pop out the translation preview into a new browser window, while keeping your web Editor comfy on your main screen. And guess what? Any tweaks in the Editor get auto-magically synced to your (giant or tiny) web preview. Dive into a split screen world.

Why this is helpful

With this feature, the translation preview – be it documents 📄, code 💻, or even video 🎥 – gets the VIP treatment. For you, the superstar translator, it means seeing the full document, fewer scrolls, fewer clicks, and a big boost in productivity. It's like going from economy 🚌 to first-class ✨ – roomier, comfier, and oh-so-efficient!

Add "Enable customized categories" configuration at account level

‍What it does

Introducing the ability to add new review tags at the account level. No more being stuck with generic labels! Now you can get as creative 🎨 or as precise 🎯 as you like.

Why this is helpful

Custom tags not only elevate your quality reports but also enhance clarity and objectivity. It's like upgrading your reports from 'black and white TV' to '4K Ultra HD'. Wait, another TV analogy? Might be a sign I need to cut down on my series marathons! 📺

Translation Settings Org Unit - Unlock New options

‍What it does

Introducing a fresh option in Translation Settings that lets you kick off new projects with those rebellious segments (you know, the ones with numbers and special characters) fully unlocked and fully unlocked and good to go. 🔓

Why this is helpful

Tired of being told you can't edit parts with numbers or symbols? With this update, those parts are ready for you from the start. No more locked doors!

Project Overview - Flag for delivered WUs with Tag Mismatch warning

‍What it does

Catching those occasional WUs where linguists might've overlooked a Tag Mismatch. But no worries, our system taps into its inner Gandalf: 'You shall not pass... without a perfect match!' 🧙 #NerdAlert

Why this is helpful

By marking Work Units (WUs) where tag mismatches were ignored by linguists, Project Managers are immediately alerted. This empowers them to take corrective measures before finalizing delivery.

‍

Allow Account Admin (A-A) assignment in tasks

What it does

Why were Account Admins left out of the task party? 🎉 I always wondered.  But times have changed! Let us mere mortals assign tasks to them too. After all, they're part of the team! 🎈 #EveryoneGetsToPlay

Why this is helpful

With this shiny new update, we've broadened the playground horizon! Remember those days when only those with the vendor role could step into the task? Well, times have changed! Some of our A-As have been itching to be directly assigned to tasks. Now everyone gets a chance to serve!
