= Typical Workflow=
The i18n specialist uses the Workbench to:
* Get the code from a source code repository, 
* Create a project from within the Workbench connected to a Globalyzer server
* Manage the candidate issues
* Tune the rule sets
* Refactor the code
* Push that code to the repository.

When the rule sets are deemed acceptable, the Workbench user may save the Globalyzer project configuration by exporting it to a file, <code>project.gproj</code>. They may then push the <code>project.gproj</code> to the repository for use by other Workbench users and/or a continuous globalization system.

= Installation Notes =
To install the Workbench, login to the Globalyzer server, download the Globalyzer Client installer for the platform you are running on, and run the installer.
