Translators Interface vs. Admin Interface

Translators Interface is built for facing the translators/users. They show the documents assigned to that translator for translation. They can use multiple interfaces to conduct the translations. This includes the INMT interface, the post-editing interface, and one without any assistance. This interfaces also allows for tracking progress through different stories.

Admin Interface is built for the admin to handle assignment of translators/translations as well as tracking the statistics and progress of different translators and their translations.
