Translation at scale requires teamwork. Whether you're a startup localizing into 5 languages or a large organization managing dozens of translators, having a structured workflow makes the difference between chaos and quality. Glot's new Team Collaboration feature brings everything together — team management, task assignment, shared glossaries, and a review workflow that catches errors before they reach production.

The Problem with Unstructured Translation

Without a proper workflow, translation projects often suffer from:

Inconsistent terminology across translators
No review process — errors go unnoticed until users report them
Lost context — translators don't know what the text is for
Coordination overhead — managing who translates what via email or chat

Glot's team features solve all of these by providing a single workspace where translators and reviewers collaborate with clear roles and status tracking.

How It Works

1. Create a Team

Start by creating a team and inviting your colleagues. Each member gets a role:

Owner — Full control over the team, members, and settings
Admin — Can manage members and create tasks
Member — Can translate and create tasks
Reviewer — Can approve or reject translations

2. Share Glossaries

Assign glossaries to your team so all members use the same terminology. This is especially powerful when combined with the Glossary Marketplace — download a medical glossary, share it with your team, and every translation task benefits from consistent terminology.

3. Create Translation Tasks

Each task includes the source text, target language, and optionally an assigned translator and reviewer. Tasks follow a clear lifecycle:

Pending — The translator works on the translation
In Review — Submitted for review, a reviewer evaluates the quality
Approved — The translation passes review and is ready to use
Rejected — The reviewer sends it back with notes for improvement

4. Review and Approve

Reviewers see the source text and translation side by side. They can approve with a single click, or reject with specific feedback. Rejected tasks go back to the translator with the reviewer's notes clearly visible, creating a tight feedback loop.

Use Cases

Startup localization — A small team translating their app into multiple languages with one reviewer ensuring quality
Content teams — Marketing copy reviewed by native speakers before publication
Freelance translation agencies — Assign tasks to translators, track progress, and review before delivery
Open source projects — Community contributors translate, maintainers review
