Create a Transcription Job

I. Select documents in the Review Grid.

  1. Choose which files you want to translate using the check marks to the left of the grid.

    • You can leverage the “Detected Languages” search field to filter documents by a certain foreign language.

  2. In the grid toolbar (blue), click Translate.

The Translate Documents modal should appear.

II. In the Act On tab…

  1. “Select Documents” will be chosen by default. Click All Documents in Results List to instead approve all filtered documents that currently show in the Processing Grid.

III. In the Translate tab…

  1. Select a Source Text Set (usually Extracted Text or OCR/Loaded). This is the text container that Reveal references during the translation job.

    Translation jobs will fail on the Native/HTML text set unless the document is a text file.

  2. Select a Source Language — the original language of the document.

    You can only translate one language at a time. If a document is written in more than one foreign language, you will have to run a Translate job multiple times for that document.

  3. Select a Destination Text Set (usually Translated). This is the type of text set which the translated text will be stored post-job.

    • Alternatively, you can select +Create new text set (e.g., “Translated from Spanish”). See Create Document Text Set for further instructions.

  4. Select a Destination Language. This will be the new, translated language of your text.

  5. Type a Job Name.

  6. Press SUBMIT.
