This article explains how tasks work in Lokalise Vantage and how to view and manage them within a project.

Tasks are mainly used to organise review work. When a project uses the AI + human review workflow, Vantage automatically creates review tasks so contributors can review and approve translations.

Tasks are available on the Tasks page inside a Vantage project. To open it:

The Tasks page displays all tasks created for the project.

Tasks are created automatically when a project is configured with the AI + human review workflow.

During project setup, you assign reviewers for each target language. Once translation begins, Vantage automatically generates review tasks for those languages. Each language is tracked separately within the task, so different languages can have different reviewers and progress levels.

If you add a new target language later in the project settings, Vantage automatically creates a separate review task for that language.

Tasks can also be created from Portal requests when the AI + human review option is selected.

Vantage automatically sets due dates for review tasks based on the project's deadline settings.

When creating a project, you choose:

Each review task is automatically assigned a due date based on these settings. Deadlines are set to 23:59 (end-of-day) in the project timezone, so reviewers in different locations have the same unambiguous deadline.

You can change the default review deadline and project timezone later in project settings. Changes apply only to new review tasks and do not update the due dates of existing tasks.

You can also override the due date for an individual task when editing its settings. Once a task has a due date, the due date cannot be removed completely — it can only be changed to another date.

The project timezone is shown with task deadline information to make the deadline unambiguous. On the project Tasks page, the timezone is available from the deadline information tooltip. It is also shown in task details and email notifications.

The Tasks page displays a table with the following information:

Tasks may contain multiple languages. Each language entry shows its own progress and assigned reviewer.

You can modify task settings directly from the Tasks page.

Click the More icon next to the task and select Edit task to adjust the following parameters:

Assignees can only be selected from users who already have access to the project. In other words, reviewers must first be added as project contributors before they can be assigned to tasks.

If the person you want to assign is not listed, add them to the project from the Contributors page.

To work on the segments included in a task, select Open in editor from the More dropdown.

This opens the project editor with the relevant segments automatically filtered. Only the segments included in the task are displayed, allowing reviewers to focus on the content assigned to them.

From there, reviewers can edit translations, rephrase text, and approve segments as needed.

To view review tasks across Lokalise Vantage, select Tasks from the sidebar:

The Tasks page provides a cross-project view of review work, so you can monitor tasks without opening projects one by one.

The available tabs are:

Tasks that are overdue, due today, or due tomorrow are highlighted with urgency indicators so you can quickly spot work with approaching or missed deadlines.

Each tab shows the following information:

Use the project filter to focus on tasks from specific Vantage projects.

The selected project filter is preserved when you switch between tabs, so you can move between All tasks, My tasks, Needs attention, and Closed without selecting the projects again.

Click a task row to open its details.

For tasks that are not closed, managers can open the task edit panel directly from the dashboard and update task settings without navigating to the project first.

The dashboard also provides language-level visibility into task progress and reviewer assignments.

From the task row or task details, select Open in editor to open the content assigned to that task. If you are assigned as a reviewer, you can complete your review in the editor and continue to the next task without returning to the Tasks page.

Managers can download a Translation Memory leverage report for a task to see how much of the source content can be reused from translation memory.

From the project Tasks page, open Overview, click the more options menu for the task, and select Download task leverage report.

The report is downloaded as a spreadsheet and breaks down the source volume by TM leverage:

For each target language, the report includes segment, source word, and source character counts.

The spreadsheet also includes:

The leverage snapshot is captured before translation begins and does not change later. This means the report continues to describe the original job even if it is downloaded again after translations have been completed or edited.

Repeated source content is identified separately so repeated text does not inflate the volume that needs to be translated from scratch.

TM leverage reports are useful for estimating and comparing translation workload. They show how much content can be reused from existing translation memory, how much requires new translation, and how much consists of repetitions.

This can help localization teams and language service providers estimate effort or apply different rates to different TM match bands.

The Tasks page in the Vantage sidebar gives managers and reviewers a cross-project view of review work.

Managers can monitor tasks across projects, identify work that needs attention, and update task details. Reviewers can use the same page to find their own assignments and move directly into the editor.

When a project uses AI + human review, configure the review workflow at the project level to reduce manual task management:

For day-to-day monitoring, use Tasks in the Vantage sidebar instead of opening projects one by one.

In particular:

The selected project filter is preserved when switching between task tabs.

Using project-level defaults together with the cross-project dashboard helps reduce manual assignment work while keeping review progress visible across multiple projects.

Use Tasks in the Vantage sidebar to see your assignments across Vantage projects. Open My tasks to focus on tasks where you are assigned as a reviewer. Tasks that are overdue, due today, or due tomorrow are highlighted so you can prioritize time-sensitive work.

Click a task to view its details, then select Open in editor to start or continue the review.

After completing your review, you can move to the next assigned task without leaving the editor.

Reviewers also receive email notifications when review tasks are assigned.
