Reviewing Translations
A finished translation opens in a reader built for one job: checking the translated pages against the document they came from. This page covers that screen, and the history view you reach it through.
Finding a run
Translation's history view is where runs live while they are working and after they finish. Reach it from View all on the Recent activity strip, or by clicking any recent run. It is headed Translation, with a back button to the home screen.
The tabs
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| In progress | Runs that are still working. The count is the number of rows |
| Failed | Runs that failed, were stopped, or were cancelled. The label turns red while the count is above zero |
| Completed | Finished runs, paginated. The label can read "Completed (12 · 3 new)" when runs have finished since you last looked |
| Shared | Translations other people shared with you. Appears only when collaboration is available to you |
If the list itself cannot load, a banner reads "Couldn't load history", warns that the list may be out of date, and offers Try again. The tabs and counts stay usable, because they are the last known values.
While a run is working
The In progress table has a column each for the document name, the target language, the page count, the start time, and a status cell holding a progress bar, the stage the run has reached, and a page tally.
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Stop | End of the row | Stops that run. Its label names the document, so a stop can never hit the wrong one |
| The row itself | Anywhere else on the row | Expands the run in place, showing its progress, its file, and a Stop translation button |
Under the table, a note reads "Translation is running in the background. You'll be notified when it's ready." You do not need to keep the page open.
When a run finishes
Finished runs sit on Completed, with the document name, target language, page count, completion time, and status. A run that finished since your last visit carries a NEW badge.
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| The row | Anywhere on a completed row | Opens the result screen for that translation |
| Re-run translation | End of the row | Runs the same document again as a fresh translation. This costs credits again |
| Share translation | End of the row | Shares this translation with a colleague. Appears only when collaboration is available |
The result screen
Each result screen shows one document. A run of several files produces one result per file, so open each of them from the history list.
The result screen
The translation fills the reading pane, with the source document open beside it. Reading the two together is the check worth doing before you rely on a translation.
The header
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Back | Far left | Returns you where you came from: the home screen, the history view, or the page that linked here |
| "Document translation" | Beside the divider | Names the screen |
| Page count | Next to the title | Reads the length of the translation, for example "· 24 pages" |
| File name | After the file-type icon | The source document's name |
| Translation details | The small information icon | Hover it for a tooltip naming the target language and the page count, for example "French translation · 24 pages" |
| Share | Right side | Opens the sharing dialog for this translation. Appears only when collaboration is available |
| Transfer ownership | Right side, beside Share | Hands ownership of this translation to someone else. Owners only |
| Save to Judicio | Right side | Saves a copy into your File Library. See Downloading Results |
| Export | Far right | Opens the export modal. See Downloading Results |
When a translation has been shared, a stack of avatars sits to the left of Share, and anyone reading it at that moment carries a green dot. For what each role can do, see Sharing a work item and Transferring ownership.
The toolbar
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Page with up and down arrows | Centre of the toolbar | Steps to the previous or next page. The box between them shows the current page, then the total |
| Search | Right cluster | Opens and closes the find bar. Cmd/Ctrl+F opens it too |
| View source | Right cluster | Opens the original document beside the translation. Becomes Hide source once open |
Stepping pages moves the source pane with you when it is open.
Searching inside a translation
Search opens a find bar under the toolbar, with the placeholder "Search in translation…". It searches the stored text of the translation, not just the pages currently on screen, and it tolerates line breaks, so a phrase you type on one line still matches text that wraps in the document.
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| The search box | Left of the bar | Type to search. Results appear as you stop typing |
| Match counter | Beside the box | Reads the active match and the total, for example "3/12". It reads "No matches" or "Searching…" as appropriate |
| Previous match | Up arrow | Steps back one match. Shift+Enter in the box does the same |
| Next match | Down arrow | Steps forward one match. Enter in the box does the same |
| Close search | The cross | Closes the bar. Esc in the box does the same |
Matches are ordered by their position in the document, so stepping through them reads top to bottom. Each match is scrolled to the middle of the view and highlighted; the highlight clears when you move on or close the bar.
Reading against the source
Press View source and the original document opens in the Files panel to the left of the translation, positioned at the page you are on. The two panes are linked: scroll either and the other follows to the matching place, and stepping pages moves both.
Press Hide source to close it again. That collapses the whole files section, so the translation gets the full width back.
This is the check worth doing before you rely on a translation. Read the two together and confirm the things a machine translation is most likely to get subtly wrong: defined terms, party names, numbers and dates, monetary amounts, and clause cross-references.
At the end of the last page the reader carries the reminder "Judicio can make mistakes. Please double-check responses."
When pages are missing
A translation can finish while some of its pages did not. When that happens the reader shows a warning above the document naming exactly what is missing, for example "3 pages could not be translated and are missing from this document (page 4, 7–8). Retry the translation to fill the gaps."
Take it at face value: the pages named are absent from the document you are reading and from anything you export from it. Retry the translation to fill them.
Retrying and re-running
Both actions run the document again and both are charged, but they start from different places and mean different things.
| Action | Where it lives | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Retry translation | End of a row on the Failed tab | Run a translation that failed, was stopped, or was cancelled. It reuses the same run rather than creating a new one |
| Retry all failed | Toolbar above the Failed list | Retries every failed row at once. The button carries the count |
| Per-file Retry | Inside an expanded failed batch | Retries one document from a multi-file run and leaves the others alone |
| Re-run translation | End of a row on the Completed tab | Translate a document that already succeeded again, as a brand-new run |
A failed row explains itself in place rather than opening a dead end: it carries its precise state, Failed, Stopped, or Cancelled, and a line saying what to do, such as "Stopped before it finished. Retry to run it again." Multi-file runs that failed appear as a group you can expand to see, and retry, each document individually.
If you open a translation that failed by its link, the screen tells you why and offers a Retry there.
Coming back later
Every completed translation stays in your account. Open Translation from the sidebar, then View all, and pick it from the Completed tab to reopen this same screen. Reading or exporting a translation you already have costs nothing.
