7. In addition, private project can have the option to allow translators to send request for translation by themselves:

(you would need to select "Allow" in "Settings" > Privacy > "Request to translate")

 

8. You can also decide whether all the strings in your private project are viewable by everyone.

(you can select "Allow"or "Disallow"in "Settings" > Privacy > "Viewable by public")

    Hello!

    To add collaborators, go to Collaboration > Collaborators, click Add My First Collaborators (or Add My First Admins for full access), enter their email addresses, select their role, choose the project(s) and language(s), and click Send the Invitation. For private projects, you can allow translators Mary Kay InTouch to request translation and decide if all strings are viewable by everyone in Settings > Privacy. Confirm contributors in Collaboration > Collaborator Applications.

    1. Navigate to the Project Dashboard:

      • Log into the platform where you're managing your project.
      • Ensure you have already created a project or have a project ready to which you want to add collaborators.

    2. Go to the "Collaboration" Section:

      • On most platforms, the collaboration settings are found in a section labeled Collaboration, Team, or Users in the project’s settings.
      • Look for a menu item or tab called Collaboration, Team, or something similar. This section will typically allow you to manage users and their roles.

    3. Select "Collaborators":

      • Under the Collaboration or Team section, you’ll see an option for Collaborators or Invite Collaborators.
      • This is where you can manage all the users that are part of the project or translation team.

    4. Invite Collaborators:

      • You’ll usually find a button that says Invite, Add Collaborators, or Send Invitation.
      • Click that button to proceed to the invitation process.

    5. Enter Collaborator Information:

      • In the invitation window, you will likely be asked to enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite to collaborate on the project.
      • Some platforms allow you to bulk upload email addresses or share a link that collaborators can use to join.

    6. Assign Roles or Permissions:

      • After entering the email addresses, you may be prompted to assign roles to your collaborators. For example:
        • Translator – for those who will translate content.
        • Proofreader – for those who will review translations.
        • Project Manager – for those overseeing the project.
      • Assign the appropriate roles to each collaborator based on their tasks.

    7. Send the Invitation:

      • Once you've added the collaborators and assigned their roles, click Send Invitation or Add Collaborators.
      • The people you invite will receive an email with a link to join your project or platform. They may need to accept the invitation to start collaborating.

    8. Managing Collaborators:

      • After adding collaborators, you may have the option to manage them directly from the Collaborators section. This might include removing someone, changing their role, or modifying access permissions.

    Example Platforms:

    • Crowdin:

      • Go to Project Settings > Team > Invite Members to add collaborators.

    • Transifex:

      • Go to Project Dashboard > Team > Invite Team Members.

    • Smartling:

      • Go to Project Settings > People > Invite User.

    • Lokalise:

      • Go to Project Settings > Team > Invite Members.

    If You Are Using a Different Platform:

    The process might be slightly different, but most platforms that manage collaborative translation projects (such as Crowdin, Transifex, Lokalise, etc.) will have a "Collaboration" or "Team" section where you can invite and manage users. marykayintouch
