Save a list of translation jobs as a CSV file

After a vendor completes the translation work, or you've canceled a job, you may want to remove the job from the list on the Translations Management tab to keep the list short. For reporting purposes, you can also export a list of translation jobs to a comma-separated values (CSV) file after they have been completed or canceled.

Required Permissions

  • For full access to all translation jobs, you must be an administrator.
    • An admin can edit and cancel any translation job regardless of Translation module permissions.
    • To configure permissions, administrators can follow the steps in: Update module access permissions.
  • For full access to your own jobs, you must be a coordinator.
    • Coordinators retain access to their own jobs regardless of Translation module permissions.
    • A user who is the coordinator of a job can still edit and cancel it even if they have no explicit Translation module-level Update permission.
  • To edit and cancel any translation job, a non-admin user must have both the Read and Update permissions for the Translation module.
  • To see all jobs, a non-admin user must have the Read permission for the Translation module.

Tips and tricks

  • Inspire creates the plain-text CSV file that lists all the same columns that are on the Translations Management tab when you select the Save as CSV option.
  • You can use the CSV file to export data from Inspire and import the data into another application where you can edit or store the data for more complex reporting.
