It controls the Web-upload and downloads of every file, allowing the Project Member to track the state of every file, identifying errors and delays rapidly. • Translation jobs are imported with wordcounts from Trados or another translation memory. • The translation workflow is integrated with the freelance database, incident management, discussion forums, project cost tracking and invoicing
