Job Due Dates

The overall Job due date is the deadline you expect the entire translation Job to be completed by. You can set the due date when you create the Job, or while the Job is in progress.

It is recommended to set the due date when creating the Job, as this will be included in the email notification sent to the linguists.

Jobs due dates are always displayed in your browser's timezone. A due date can be automatically applied using a Job Due Date Profile. Profiles have a specified timezone that can be a different from yours, which could result in a due date outside your normal working hours. 

Due dates help Translation Resources (Translators, Editors, and Reviewers) prioritize their content. There are two types of Job due dates that can be modified:
