Lokalise

The chained tasks feature is available from the Essential plan and above.

If your translation process requires multiple revision cycles, you can use chained tasks along with automatic key tagging.

In Lokalise, there are two types of <a href="https://docs.lokalise.com/en/articles/1457259-tasks">tasks</a> you can create: translation and review.

Translation tasks: Assignees translate the selected items into one or more languages.

Review tasks: Assignees review already translated items, correcting them as needed. Once checked, the status of the item should be set to <a href="https://docs.lokalise.com/en/articles/3684557-translation-statuses-translated-verified-reviewed-and-completed#reviewed-and-not-reviewed">"reviewed.</a>"

For tasks requiring multiple revision cycles, note that the "reviewed" status icon (the glasses icon) is only used during the first review task. In all subsequent revision cycles, this icon is not available, as assignees will work with items marked as "completed" in the task.

Create a translation task with the desired scope (a set of keys and languages) and assign users. The following chained review tasks will inherit this scope, but you can assign different users to them.

(Optional) Open the Advanced options and enable Tag keys after the task is closed. This will automatically tag all keys within the task scope once the task is completed. You can then filter these keys by the specific tag to track which items have undergone particular review steps.

You can create as many review tasks as your workflow requires, chaining them one after the other and applying tags to each review step as needed.

Remember, the "reviewed" status is only used during the first review cycle. In subsequent tasks, assignees should use the yellow dot icon to mark items as completed.

Creating a template with multiple chained tasks

You can create a <a href="https://docs.lokalise.com/en/articles/1457259-tasks#task-templates">task template</a> that includes multiple chained tasks:

Create a new translation task to use as a template.

Create a review task linked to the translation task from the previous step.

- Create a new translation task to use as a template.
- Create a review task linked to the translation task from the previous step.

Now, when you create a new task based on this template, it will automatically include multiple chained tasks.
