Hi,
Sometimes, I need a group of suppliers to collaborate on the translation in a Codyt project. I've selected "automatically propose jobs to groups of suppliers" and ticked the suppliers. But once one of the suppliers accept the job, others cannot view the segments in the job.
What should I do?
I find the solution here:
Crowd sourcing, big word… Here too you can propose work to multiple suppliers but with an important difference: All invited suppliers work on the job simultaneously. We also call this “voluntary” work and there is no cost calculation involved. Crowd sourcing is useful in some scenarios: For example, you might want to invite all your colleagues to freely and less formally contribute with proofreading. Or you have a user group which is ready to localize your software voluntarily…

But why does the crowd sourcing jobs cannot calculate the cost?
Hi Jessica,
thanks for asking the question.
Any ideas how this cost calculation for suppliers can be implemented in crowd sourcing if they are translating simultaneously?
All the best

Hi Wojciech,
Well...Is it possible to calculate how many words/ segments one person does? If it is, then it's feasible to get a breakdown and then calculate the total cost. If not...I guess the cost is calculated as if the project is assigned to one supplier so that the translators / colleagues are treated as a group.
Best regards,

Hi Jessica,
if the group is working on it in a crowd sourcing mode then translators are treated as a group and costing is not available.
I understand your idea, you can make a suggestion about it however I think that in the scenario where we would like to know exactly who translated what we rather split the document assigning specific range of segments to one supplier and another range of segments to another supplier.
All the best
