See reference only components for a translation job

After you send components to translation, you can review any component you included as Reference only. These are components added to a translation job to be used as a reference during the translation process. You can't make any changes on this tab after a translation job has started.

Tips and tricks

  • Reference only components aren't locked in Inspire.
  • Reference only components aren't returned from GlobalLink Enterprise (formerly known as Project Director).
  • You can send the same files for translation and reference only. This is helpful when the linguist might need to refer to the original, such as a map, when making changes.

The tabs you see when you open the Translation screen will vary depending on the type of Translation Project you select when creating the translation job. On the Details tab, this is shown as Vendor.
