Management > User Setup > Vendors

Vendors are organizations that perform the actual localization of assets. Linking vendors to WorldServer projects enables you to manage that part of the localization process from the WorldServer console, including assigning tasks and scoping work.

Within WorldServer, you can add, view, modify, or delete a vendor, as well as evaluate vendor data. WorldServer lets you develop a cost model for each vendor, with which you can compare projected translation costs, based on word count and price per word, between prospective vendors.

WorldServer also includes out-of-the-box reports for:

• Translation Cost by Project and Vendor
• Cost by Vendor and TM Match Level
• TM Cost Savings by Vendor
• Vendor Task Completion Summary
• Vendor Task Completion by Locale
• Vendor Task Completion Details
