How to extend deadlines on active projects

#1

The deadline is one of the most important information that translators take into account when they decide to claim a new task. Translators will think twice before accepting a task with an overdue deadline. For this reason, deadlines need to be always up-to-date. Here you can learn how you can extend deadlines on Kató Platform:

  1. Go to the Dashboard
  2. Open the project which contains the overdue task
  3. Scroll down to the task in question, and click on Edit Task:

If i can’t see the edit deadlines, means I have to finish that in time? I didn’t know how to accept the task. I first see that as available task and I wasn’t sure if I accepted it or not. Then it shows that I already accepted that job. So is that mean when I clicked on the link they sent to me, I accepted it?

Hi @Lum_Nan, very good questions! Below you’ll find instructions on claiming tasks, as well as a few other useful tips:

  • This page contains instructions and screenshots about claiming tasks on Kató Platform so that you can be sure that you are following all the steps.
  • This video tutorial gives you some tips on using our translation interface, Kató TM.
  • This page has instructions and screenshots about completing tasks on Kató.
  • If you need extra help submitting a task, this page contains video tutorials that may help.

As for editing deadlines for tasks, only admin can change them, and we ask all translators to only accept tasks that they are certain they can complete on time. However, we understand that unforeseen issues can sometimes arise, and here you can find the steps we have outlined in case you are truly unable to meet a task deadline.

I hope this helps, but please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any further questions :slight_smile:
