Each project has a team of people. The project team must have at least one Maintainer. A project can be maintained and translated with just a Maintainer on the team, but you may wish to add more people if you want to do any of the following:

  • Allow other users to help maintain the project and version settings.
  • Allow translation or review by users who are not members of the global translation team for a language.
  • Allow only your assigned translators and reviewers to work on the project. This requires setting Invite only.
  • Delegate other users to help assign and manage translators and reviewers.
