When the translation is all finished please go to the Files tab and in the top cloud ribbon use the ’Complete’ task button to hand in the text. The ’Complete’ button is a small check box with a green tick mark.
Your translation will now go through linguistic review and after that you will have the final say on the edits by the reviewer.
