Video File Translation
Translation an Image File in LILT is very similar to the text translation workflow you're used to.
Similar to text files:
Each Job is created with one source language (e.g. English).
Each Job holds a collection of one or more Projects, with each Project designated by a specific language pair (e.g. English to French, English to German, English to Spanish). Projects can only be created with the same source language as the Job they are in.
Each Project holds one or more documents to be translated.
LILT makes Job and Project creation simple by automatically creating separate Projects for each desired target language and populating each Project with the documents to be translated.
Creating a Job

The first screen of the Job creation popup form is where you fill out the Job information, add source files, and add reference materials.
By default, this will be sent for Instant Translation. Select the toggle in order to "Send for human verification to ensure quality, factuality, and accuracy"
Source language: Select the source language of the content being translated (this should match the language of the documents you upload).
