When working with a translation Agency or vendor (LSP), they are responsible for adding their team of translators to Smartling. If you are working with any freelance translators or editors, or have any multilingual teammates within your organization that could review translations, you should complete all steps to invite them to Smartling and add workflow assignments to their profile.
Adding Translators, Editors and/or Reviewers gives them access to translate or edit content for the workflow steps they've been assigned.
Note: If you intend on re-adding a previously deleted user email address to Smartling, contact your Smartling Representative to re-activate the deleted email address.
Adding a Linguist
Step 1: Invite them to Smartling
- Go to Team > Users.
- Click Add User.
- Click on the appropriate user role and enter the email address of the new user.
- Click Confirm.
Immediately after adding the user to the account, you must give them at least one workflow assignment. The linguist's invitation email will not be sent until a workflow assignment has been added to their profile.
Step 2: Add workflow assignments to their profile
- Click Add Assignment.
- Select a language they should be assigned to, a workflow, and a step.
- Click Add Assignment. Add more workflow assignments if the user needs access to multiple workflows or steps.
- Click Save Changes or Cancel to exit.
An invitation email will then be sent to the linguist once you've added a workflow assignment. If they've already registered with Smartling, they will be invited to work on the specific account.
If you need to give the same linguists access to two accounts for two different functions (i.e. to translate in one and project manage in another), read our documentation on giving users two roles for two accounts.
