Hello and welcome to the Volunteer Orientation for Trommons.org Part 2
presented by The Rosetta Foundation
What we will cover today
We covered in our first video how to register
and how to update your profile. Today we will be covering
how to sign up for task stream notification emails
telling you and explaining a little bit about these things called badges
and then going through tags
and then the process of how to find,
claim, download and upload your finished project.
Alright, so, we have a lot to cover. Let's get started
First let's go to the site trommons.org
Alright
and now that we are already a registered user, all we have to do is log in
and hopefully we remember our password. If not
there's that beautiful Reset Password button to save us.
So here we are on the homepage, now first let's go to our profile page
Click up top next to Home on Profile
We should have the information, our public display name
native language, secondary languages and any information we filled in
on our profile details. If you do want to adjust that
you can always go up to the far right corner - Edit Profile Details -
to change this information. So now let's scroll down
Here we go
Let's make this bigger, to Badges
A list of badges you have earned
So I have earned the Profile Filler, I have registered
and my Native Language badge so this is encouragement for
filling out your profile. Then you can go over to click
List All Badges and here you see a list to mark the current badges that we have
which include Translator and Proofreader. When you're new to the
system
you won't have listed translator and proofreader badges
but as soon as you have taken on a project that involves one of these
You will then earn a translator badge and a proofreader badge
This is also a system we will be developing
so you may receive the 10,000 Words Translated
Badge, All-Star Translator Badge
We'll be adding those and awarding those to you as well
Let's get back my profile
Alright, so, moving on from badges
down to Task Stream Notifications
Alright, so, this is where you can edit the notifications
I am not currently receiving any notification emails
you click on Edit Notifications and
once the page loads
If it decides to load!
So notifications will periodically send you a list of the tasks
that are most suited to your skills and areas of interest
So I would like to receive the email notification
and you can select never, daily, weekly, or monthly
so whichever you prefer, I'm going to select weekly
and then hit submit, and the
system has to do some hard work
So we go down to double-check and I am now
currently receiving weekly e-mails. Excellent!
So now you see down below I also have tags listed
and that I am currently subscribed to a tag
If you're not subscribe to any tags this will not be listed in your profile
So in order to see this here and have access to the List All Tags
we must go first to our home page
and over on the right you can see a list of popular tags
so these are currently now filled with test options
1, 2, review, test, but in the future these will be listed with
interest areas such as medicine, health care,
law, legal, human rights, and so you might say, alright, I'm interested in
this tag, you click on it
so I clicked on the tag 'that', and then it brings up
the projects that have this tag included.
A tag is something that the organisation, when they are creating a
project
they will select the tags that best describe
their project, so if you like this tag, you're interested in this area,
then all you have to do is in the upper far right corner hit Subscribe To Tag
And, congratulations! You've successfully added a tag
You can also unsubscribe at any time
So if I'm uninterested in this tag and say I have done too much,
it's too tedious, I don't want to be involved with this
interest area, you can undo it.
Okay
So now I have successfully removed that tag
Okay so let's go back to our home page
So this is where most of the action happens
on Trommons. Here you see a list
of projects and you can scroll down. These are all the projects in our system
currently
Hopefully this will soon become very, very, long so now you can just look at them
but in the future you might wanna search for a project
based on its task type: segmentation, translation, proofreading
desegmentation, or on a source
or target language and so you have the ability to filter
what you will see here based on your search criteria
So let's try I'm interested in proofreading
and I will filter my task stream
Okay, excellent, so I see Lab Schedule
Let's try this! I click on it because I'm interested. It's from English to Spanish
I see the word count and I see the due date
I better work quickly!
Alright and then once you
you can enter this page you click on it to learn more information
so you see the project name, its source language
target language, when it was created,
the deadline and the word count.
You will receive a description of the project,
tags that were listed, the impact - so how they would use this project -- to help you
in selecting
so you know where this document will be used, for whom you'll be translating
and down below you actually have the ability to preview it, which is really nice.
Before you decide to take it on, you can actually take a look at the document to see
what type of language is there
and if you say, Oh, this looks great!, then you can decide in the upper far-right corner
to claim the task. So you click on Claim Task once
and then it takes you to another page, so it's verifying that indeed
you do you want to proofread and take on this task, it then
automatically will download - so you see it pops up -
to see if can you open the file on your computer
If you have time to proofread it and if you're capable
of proofreading this file in English.
So then I will look over here and you can either say, No,
bring me back to the task page, I'm not interested or
Yes, promise I will proofread this file
Alright, success! You have claimed the proofreading task
Lab Schedule CS 2044 PDF
Alright, so then we also have a little explanation
of what to do now, so you can proofread it
and here it also sends you to the page where you can upload the proofreading task
when you're finished
but you can also now go to
any other page on Trommons.
So if we go back to home page, you look up top
before you just saw Home and Profile, now you also see Claimed Tasks
and that appears because I claimed a task. So you can click on that to review
all the projects that you have decided to take on and I've only decided to take
on one so I'm able to see the project
that I undertook. I can click on it again
take another look, and here
it takes me to another page, where I have the option to
upload the file, to choose the file and upload it, and
should I decide, should something happen that I'm unable to complete this
project
what is important is that you can always go over to provide feedback
This may not seem the most logical place to
unclaim a task but when you click on Provide Feedback
it does give you the option
Unclaim A Task And Submit Feedback and this is because we simply just would
like to know an explanation of why you are no longer interested
able to translate this project or to finish this project for us
Maybe you're too busy, maybe something came up
maybe when you finished going over the project you realized it's just not
something you believe in.
Any response is fine!
We'd just like to know why, for our own purposes, to better understand in
the future
So you can always unclaim a task and submit feedback
I'm going to unclaim it
Alright so now I've unclaimed it. Also in that feedback section you have the ability
to
review and submit feedback for the organisation itself,
the material, their description of the project, so you can also make comments
and then
that's it for walking you through your first project! I hope this was helpful
thank you and have a good day!
