When If you have the Wordbee platform and are an agency or company assigning jobs to external workers, it is possible to assign multiple linguistic resources to the project projects (Standard or CoDyt).
It is sometimes beneficial to give external translators the ability to modify these linguistic resources. This could include enriching the glossary terminology database or saving a more accurate term or segment to the translation memory. Doing so, prevents the need for excessive messages regarding an error in a resource and allows the translator to make the correction themselves.
Example 1
For example, let's say the external translator accesses the CAT editor for performing work and needs to see what resources were By allowing translators to correct potential errors in the databases can increase the overall quality of your resources.
Example 1
An external translator performs work in the Translation Editor and observes that there are errors in the translation memory the project manager has used for pre-translation. By enabling the appropriate access rights, etc. they The translator will be able to view and modify segments in resources to ensure the most accurate translations are used for pre-translationthe TM segments containing the errors only if the suitable access rights have been enabled by the project manager.
Example 2
Another example is providing the external translator the ability allowing external translators to enrich the glossary terminology databases used for in the projects . You might create an empty glossary, which they can later access and add proper terms to. This information will then be used when pre-translating text on future projects.

with new terms. To ensure high-quality resources, you could first allow terminology contributions to an empty database. Once you or your in-house linguists have validated the entries, you could use that termbase for pre-translation in future projects.
