Wordbee Translator allows you to dynamically create supplier groups based on filters like the translation domain of suppliers, their type (freelancers , or agency.....), custom field values, labels, etc. Depending on the type of filters applied, the system will automatically add all relevant suppliers to the supplier group all relevant suppliers.

Similar to the static groups, the suppliers' language pairs are not taken into account. If the group is assigned to a job, depending on the language combination, the system will only send notifications to the right suppliers in the group.

prioritizes the services as follows: Priority is first

assigns priorities to services in the following way: priority is given to services that match

languages exactly, then

language pairs exactly. Priority is then given to services with the highest rating.

The system selects a single service per supplier or worker. If there are more eligible services, the system will select the "best" according to the priorities.

For a given job and language

combination

pair, the system selects

a

the maximum number of external and

inhouse

in-house suppliers

(as specified above). The highest priority services will be selected

as specified in the configuration. By default, if the number of suppliers specified above is more than the number of priority matches, then the system will pull alphabetically from the remaining suppliers in your database. Optionally, enable the randomization option to instead randomly pull from the remaining suppliers.
