Using Translation Manager to set translation quotas

If you are a Solutions Quota Administrator, then you can set the default translation quota for users. You can also set custom quotas for users and cost centers or departments. By default, all Translation Assistant users share the entire quota.

Note: Quota decrements may vary depending on the number of characters in a page. The system counts the number of characters, not the pages.
  1. Open a web browser, and then access the Lexmark Cloud Services dashboard.

  2. Do either of the following:

    • Click the Translation Manager card.

    • Click the launcher icon, and then click Translation Manager.

  3. From the Quotas page, do any of the following:

    Set the default translation quota for users
    1. Click Edit beside Default Quota.

    2. From the Edit Default User Quota window, set the default translation quota for users, and then click Save Changes.

    Set a custom translation quota for a user

    The default quota applies to all Translation Assistant users in the organization, unless a custom quota is assigned to the department, cost center, or individual user. The user’s custom quota overrides the default quota of the organization, cost center, or department.

    1. From the Custom Quotas tab,  click Create.

    2. From the Type list, select Personal.

    3. Type the user’s email address, and then set their translation quota.

      Note: Users must be registered in the organization before you can assign a custom quota to them.
    4. Click Create Quota.

    5. Note: You can click the Usage tab on the Quotas page to check the custom or default quota usage of the user. You can also use the Percent Remaining option to filter users and how much quota they still possess.
    Set a custom translation quota for a cost center or department

    The default quota applies to all users in the organization, unless a custom quota is assigned to the department, cost center, or individual user. The custom quota overrides the default quota.

    Note: Custom quotas can be set only for either a cost center or a department, but not both. After setting the first custom quota for a cost center or department, you can no longer set the custom quota for the other option.
    1. From the Custom Quotas tab,  click Create.

    2. From the Type list, select Cost center or Department.

    3. Type the name of the cost center or department, and then set its translation quota.

    4. Click Create Quota.

    5. Notes:

      • You can edit existing custom quotas. To do so, click the name of the cost center or department from the Custom Quotas tab, set the translation quota, and then click Save Changes.
      • You can click the Usage tab on the Quotas page to check the custom or default quota usage of the users. You can also use the Percent Remaining option to filter users and how much quota they still possess.
