Localization Jobs

Localization jobs

A job is the atomic unit of work assigned to a vendor team. This section covers every phase from issuing to write-back.

Requesters scope keys and languages in Kit tables to issue jobs, and vendors complete work within jobs. A job represents a complete round in the hands of a vendor team: accept, translate, deliver, review, and write back.
