==== WEBAPP GUIDELINES ====

DESK ACCESS: go to https://desk.oneforma.com/  and login with your OneForma credentials. In "My Tasks" there is a list of webapps that have been assigned to you. 
{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img3.png |}}

**WEBAPP ACCESS**: For translation, go to **Actions** > **Start**.

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img4.png?300 |}}

For review, go to **QA actions** > **QA**.

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img5.png?300 |}}


__**RADIO BUTTONS**__: As mentioned, you will be presented with 6 checkboxes about the 
source text in the webapp: 

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img6.png |}}

Wrong language in source: mark this if the text is completely in another language (not the 
announced source language). \\
✘ Do not check this box if the words in other language are borrowed, shared, or common 
words in the source and target languages.  \\

 

__**Garbled text in source**__: mark this if the source text is completely garbled (a series of random 
characters like: “jknjknkjnknknn”) or contains programming language (javascript, html, etc). If 
only a part of the source is garbled, do not click the “Garbled” checkbox, leave the garbled 
part as it is in source and translate the rest of the sentence as you would normally do. \\

__**Nonsensical source**__: mark this if the source text is completely nonsensical, and then provide 
a literal word by word translation. If only a part of the source is nonsensical, but the rest of 
the sentence is fine, translate the nonsensical part literally and the rest of the sentence as 
you would normally do. Do not describe nonsensical words. \\
__**Typos or Spelling errors in source**__: mark this if the source contains grammar or spelling 
mistakes but the meaning remains clear, and then provide a fluent translation - do not 
replicate the ungrammatical constructs or misspellings into the target language. Also 
disambiguate abbreviations (Ex. 'how r u -> cómo estás'). \\
__**More than 1 language in source**__: mark this if there is any other language present in the 
source text, apart from the intended one. This includes borrowed, shared or common words 
from other languages \\
__** None apply**__: Mark this checkbox if none of the other ones apply to the text. 
To revert any of these selections, click the “clear selection” button. \\
**NOTE**: if the source string just contains a symbol or a punctuation like like “>” or “[ [  ] ]”, this 
does not fall into any of the above scenarios. This should be left as in the source for T1 and 
T2 should be omitted. \\
__**HT WEBAPP FOR TRANSLATORS**__: for projects that require 1 translation, you will see 
only one textbox per source string. For projects that require 2 translations, it will be the same 
and you will still see only one textbox per source string, so the same hit can be translated 
by two different resources. The first time you translate a hit you will have the following layout, 
so you just need to provide the **Translation1** in the **Proposed translation** textbox. \\

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img7.png |}}

If you translate a sentence that has been previously translated by another resource or by 
yourself (because you can translate one sentence and after some time get the same source 
to translate), it means you need to provide the Translation2 (if possible) and you will see the 
following layout. In this case the **Translation1** from first translator **will be blocked** and can 
only be used for reference. You need to provide a **Translation2** in the **Proposed 
Translation** textbox. \\

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img8.png |}}

Following with the general guidelines it’s forbidden to provide an identical or very similar 
Translation2: you won’t be able to submit it and you’ll get a pop-up message warning about 
it. \\
__**HT WEBAPP FOR REVIEWERS**__: for projects that require 2 translations, you will see 2 
textboxes for the same source, the upper one with Translation1 and the lower one with 
Translation2 (which may be empty if the second translator didn’t provide a Translation2). \\

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img9.png |}}

Read the source carefully, review the 2 different translations following the provided linguistic guidelines and implement any change (if needed) in the corresponding text box. If the reviewed translations (either 1, 2 or both) have errors, select the applicable error category from the drop down menu. Error categories that can be selected are: \\

For cases when the reviewer works on a 2nd round of QA (when additional hits of under-
performing translators are sent out to QA), only the translation box coming from the under-
performing translator will be editable for review. For example, here we need to review **only 
the Translation1**. The “__Alternative translation provided__” is the Translation2 coming from a 
translator who doesn’t need to be reviewed. So you have to review only the Translation1 
considering that it will be associated with the indicated Translation2 (don’t change it to 
something too similar or the system will not allow you to submit).  \\

And here we need to review only the Translation2. The “Alternative translation provided” is 
the Translation1 coming from a translator who doesn’t need to be reviewed. So you have to 
review only the Translation2 considering that it will be associated with the indicated 
Translation1 (don’t change it to something too similar or the system will not allow you to 
submit). \\

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img13.jpg?600 |}}

__**OTHER BUTTONS**__: When you are done and are sure about the proposed translation, click 
Submit to send it to the system. In case there is a sentence with adult content, insults, etc. 
you don't feel comfortable with, click **SKIP HIT** to have it assigned to another 
translator/reviewer. Skipped hits will not be paid. \\
If the task requires 2 translations but it is not possible to provide a Translation2, click the 
__**SECOND TRANSLATION NOT POSSIBLE button**__. This will indicate to the reviewers that 
there is only 1 possible translation for the provided source. \\

{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img14.jpg |}}

When you have translated all the strings and/or you want to exit the task, click **CLOSE** in the 
upper right corner of the screen (next to your username) to go back to the My Task 
dashboard. 
{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:isaac_project_en_human_translation_instructions_webapp_guidelines_img15.jpg |}}

A map chart is available, which can be used to type in the translation box any uncommon 
character you may not have in your keyboard.
