POEditor teams

Owner

A team in POEditor is a group of users. You can create a team in your account or organization in order to bulk assign certain groups of contributors to specific languages in your localization projects.

How to create teams

You can create a new team in Contributors > Teams. Just click on Add team, provide a name for your team, then click Add.

Add POEditor team (Contributors page) - POEditor translation system

In the team's page, you can add existing contributors to the team, or new ones (who don't yet have a POEditor account).

You can also bulk assign existing contributors to your teams in the Contributors page, using the options in the bottom left side of the page.

How to assign teams to languages

To assign a team to a language in a project, go to the project's main page and click on the Add Contributors option corresponding to the desired language. Then choose the option Team in the dropdown to add the desired team.

The contributors in the team will be added progressively to the language, until everyone is added. If there are many contributors in the team, this process can take a few seconds.

A contributor can be assigned to a language both as part of a team and individually. If a contributor is assigned in both ways, their contributions are counted only once.

How to remove a team from a language

To remove a team from a language, go to the project's Contributors section, filter by the corresponding language, and then use the option Remove team from language for the team you want to remove.

Note that if a user is assigned both individually and as part of a team to a language, removing the team from the language will not also remove the individual assignment, and vice versa.

How to edit or delete a team

In the Teams page, you can click the Change name button corresponding to a team to change its name. To remove it, click the Delete icon.

You can add members to a team or remove them in the team's page.

Good to know

  • A team is tied to the account or organization where it was created and cannot be moved to another account or organization.
  • Teams can be assigned only to projects hosted by the user or organization where they were created.
  • If the team is on your personal account, only you can add or remove users to/from it. If it's on an organization, the organization owner and its managers can manage the users in the team.
  • Teams can be assigned only to languages, with contributor privileges. They cannot be assigned as project administrator.
  • Teams can be assigned to specific languages by the project owner and project admins. When hosted on an organization, this can be done by the organization owner and managers and by the project admins.
