Design the Process Once
and Run It on Autopilot
A workflow captures how your team works: the steps, who does them, how deadlines and costs are set, and what happens when work is done. Build one for each kind of project or client, attach it to a project, and Wordbee runs it, assigning jobs, gating quality, and delivering, while you watch progress instead of pushing it.

A Workflow for Every Kind of Work
Build Any Workflow Your Work Needs
No two teams localize the same way, and Wordbee does not force you into one process. Build a workflow for everyday content and another for high-stakes material, one per client, one per content type, each with its own steps, suppliers, deadlines, and rules. Mark the one you use most as the default, keep the rest a click away, and assign whichever fits the job in front of you.
- Build as many workflows as you need, one per content type or client
- Each carries its own steps, suppliers, deadlines, and automation
- Set one as the default and assign any other with a click
- Adjust a workflow or add languages mid-project without starting over
- From a quick two-step review to a full regulated chain, your call
Standard Work Steps
Every Step Your Process Needs
These are the building blocks you arrange into a workflow. Use the standard steps below in any order, and define your own task categories when the work calls for something different.
Translation
The first pass. A linguist translates the source into each target language inside the editor.
Revision
A second linguist checks the translation against the source and refines it.
Proofreading
A monolingual read of the target for fluency, typos, and final polish.
DTP and Layout
Desktop publishing so formatted files still look right once the text changes length.
Certified Translation
An attested step for documents that need an official, certified translation.
Client Sign-Off
Hand the final check to the client's own team before the project closes.
Beyond the Translation Steps
A Workflow Runs the Admin Not Just the Translation
Translation, revision, and proofreading are only part of the job. A workflow also runs everything around them, so the work moves without a project manager pushing it. Picking the right linguist for each job is one of those pieces.
