Translation statuses

A source text and a target text unit form a translation unit (TU). TUs are displayed on one row in SDL Online Editor. Each TU has a translation status depending on how complete the translation is.

TUs can have one of the following translation statuses at a time:
  • Not Translated (Not Translated status) - This target segment has not been translated or edited yet.
  • Draft (Draft status) - This target segment may have been changed, but it is not yet considered fully translated, or a translation memory (TM) match was applied to the segment but the segment text has since been edited.
  • Translated (Translated status) - This target segment translation has been confirmed.
  • Locked (Locked status) - This target segment translation is locked.
  • Translation Rejected(Translation Rejected status) - This target segment translation was rejected by the reviewer.
  • Translation Approved (Translation Approved status) - This target segment translation was approved by the reviewer.
  • Sign-off Rejected (Sign-off Rejected status) - This translation has been rejected during the sign-off process.
  • Signed Off (Signed Off status) - The translation has been approved and signed-off. This translation is ready to be released to the customer.
