Great ideas!

What I'm currently working on is the delivery side. TPBox doesn't appear to want one to deliver (upload) translations via their portal, the assumption being that good old e-mail is thankfully still the preferred method.

I'll simply e-mail them a link to download my translation from my "portal", which is simply a web page I generate for each relevant delivery and upload to my site. One feature I'm considering for this page is an "I accept" tick, which they have to click, whereupon they are directed to my "General terms of sale" page, which they also have to accept before they can finally download my translation. I like your idea "important information in a box surrounded by other boxes containing randomly filled text characters"; this is where I could "hide" the download link. ▲ Collapse
