Some projects contain image files for translation, but these must first be transcribed.
If your PM asks you to transcribe image in a project, follow these steps:
- Check out the project
- Start transcribing
by clicking Transcribe Images on the Documents ribbon
- A tab will open where all images in the project are listed and transcriptions can be added.
The Preview pane will display the image in question. - To transcribe, simply type the text from the image into the Transcription column.
- Note that depending on the import source, all images or only some may be suitable for transcription. Check with your PM.
- Any image unsuitable for transcription/translation (like the image below) can be ignored.
These images can be locked during transcription (by clicking the Lock icon on the right or pressing Ctrl + Shift + L), and locked images Hidden to remove them from the list (using the tick box on the left).
- Once all relevant images are transcribed, inform the PM how much time you spent on transcribing.
- Wait until the PM provides you with a new wordcount (with the transcription time and the additional words for translation included)
- Synchronize your project and start translating. All image files will now be translatable using your transcriptions.
