Annotation — Free-text transcription / translation (TextArea)

Ticks are recorded live

Work these steps on the in-app checklist — account menu → My testing checklist — where every Pass / Fail / Skip is recorded the moment you press it, and Fail files the report for you. This page (and its PDF) is the same list for reading, printing, or working offline; if you used paper, transfer your ticks into the app afterwards.

Project fixture: fixtures/projects/13-parallel-translation-post-edit.json (20 tasks). Steps are the same shape for every data type so a tester can compare behaviour across types.

Each step: Do this, then check You should see.

Setup (manager does this once)​

  • AN-TA-01 Create a project from fixtures/projects/13-parallel-translation-post-edit.json (scripts/seed.py --only 13 or Create project → paste the label config → Import the JSON). You should see: 20 tasks in the Data Manager; the labeling interface preview renders without red warnings.

  • AN-TA-02 Publish the project and add tester3 (annotator) and tester4 (reviewer). Set annotators per task = 2. You should see: the project appears for tester3 on Home → Continue working and on the Projects page.

Label​

  • AN-TA-03 As tester3 open the project and label the first task: type the translation in the text area. You should see: the region/answer appears; Submit enables; Ctrl/Cmd+Enter submits and loads the next task.

  • AN-TA-04 Label 2 more tasks, using hotkeys shown in the tooltips where possible. You should see: each submit moves on; the counter in the bottom bar advances.

  • AN-TA-05 Press Undo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z) after an action, then Redo. You should see: the exact last action reverts and re-applies.

  • AN-TA-06 Skip a task. You should see: the next task loads; the skipped one is marked skipped in the Data Manager.

  • AN-TA-07 Open a task you already submitted and change something, then Update. You should see: the change is saved; the history panel shows the update.

Review round-trip​

  • AN-TA-08 As tester4 open the review stream for this project. You should see: tester3's annotations appear one at a time with Accept / Fix & accept / Reject.

  • AN-TA-09 Click Fix & accept on one. You should see: the editor opens THAT task with THAT annotation (same text/media, regions visible); saving returns you to the stream.

  • AN-TA-10 Reject one with a comment, then as tester3 open My work → rejected. You should see: the rejection and comment are visible; 'request re-review' is offered.

Export​

  • AN-TA-11 As manager: Export → Preview. Switch the format between JSON, CSV. You should see: the record pane shows the task exactly as the file will; non-JSON formats show the file output and mark any results that will not survive.

  • AN-TA-12 Choose fields… and untick all bookkeeping fields, Apply, then Export. You should see: the downloaded file has only the chosen fields; the count in the button matches the Data Manager view.

  • AN-TA-13 Type, then Shift+Enter for a new line, then submit. You should see: line breaks are kept in the record.

  • AN-TA-14 Turn on the translation memory (if the project has it) and type a sentence seen before. You should see: a suggestion appears; accepting it fills the box.

Mobile / small screen​

  • AN-TA-15 Repeat one labeling task at phone width (or in the phone app if the project allows mobile). You should see: the interface is usable without horizontal scrolling; controls are at least finger-sized.
