3. The PM will consult with DTP (Desktop Publisher)to create aSpecial Instruction Procedure for the translator, so they understand how to deliver the translated subtitling package according to clients’ requirements.

4. In order to meet the deadline, the PM has assigned 2 native linguists to handle the translations and both have received the order package, including the Termbase and Instruction Procedure.

5. The linguists read a follow and the Special Instruction Procedure, so they understand what to do outside the standard translation procedure.

6. During the translation, the linguists will upload the Termbase in their CAT tools, so they will not translate the words that are mentioned in the instruction list.
