You can cancel a task if it is in queue, and
it has not yet started to run. When you cancel a task, it is canceled
from the project as a whole, for all users. You can cancel tasks that
require no translation so that they do not clutter the task list and
require users to handle them.
The Include in project
cost calculation options tells the system whether a task
should be included in the overall project scope report. Depending
on when the task is canceled, it may make sense to exclude it from
the report.
For example, if the task has not been translated, it probably should
be excluded from the project scope report. However, if it already
has been translated prior to cancellation, then the translator should
be paid and the cost of translating this task included in the project
scope report.

Note: When the running task is an external program, the Cancel Task control will take effect. (A simple example
of this is an asset file which has caused an error in one of the Microsoft
Office applications.) Use the process_timeout setting
in the WorldServer general.properties file to
set an upper bound on how long an external running task will persist
after a cancel instruction. If process_timeout is
set to 1 hour, it wakes up the Work Flow Engine and cancels the local
WorldServer task after an hour. By default this setting is 0 (zero).
