📖 About the Translation Platform

This project is an Online Translation Order Management System that covers the entire translation workflow from order submission to delivery.

✨ Features and Workflow

1. User Registration & Login

   • Users can register and upload their files for translation.
   • Supported file types: Word, PDF, Images (JPG, PNG), and ZIP archives.

2. Word Count Calculation

   • For Word or PDF files, the system automatically counts the words.
   • If the file contains images, the operator is notified to manually determine the number of words in the images.

3. Translation Options
   Customers can choose options such as:

   • Type of translation (general, specialized)
   • Source and target language
   • Translation quality level
   • Proofreading / Editing

4. Invoice & Payment

   • The system generates an invoice based on the selected options and word count.
   • Customers first pay 50% upfront.
   • After operator approval, the order is activated.

5. Translation Process

   • The operator assigns the file to the appropriate translator.
   • The translator completes the translation and uploads the file back.
   • Customers can download the final file after paying the remaining balance.

6. Multiple Files Support

   • Customers can upload multiple files at once (Word, PDF, Images, ZIP).
   • Each file follows the same invoice, payment, and translation process.

7. Translator Payments

   • Every 15 days, the system automatically generates a payslip for each translator.
   • Translators receive their payments based on completed work.

8. Access Levels

   • Admin: Full system management and settings.
   • Financial Operator: Manages payments and transactions.
   • General Operator: Handles orders and customer communication.
   • Translator: Works on assigned files and uploads translations.
   • Customer: Places translation orders and tracks their status.
   • Content Manager: Publishes pages such as About Us, Contact Us, and articles.

9. Advanced Settings

   • Define translation types and pricing.
   • Configure quality levels and related costs.
   • Manage payment gateways and SMS services.
   • Set up roles and access permissions.
