Segment status

The translation status for a segment is affected when it is split or merged. If you split a segment, the status reverts to no status. However, when you merge two segments, the status may change. For translation status, if at least one segment has translated data (regardless of whether the status is Manual, ICE, 100%, and so forth) the resulting segment is marked Manual Translation and the review status is set to None. (Depending on how your workflow steps are configured, the review status could be set to Pending Review.) If the new segment is untranslated, the review status is set to None.

For File Types, both parts of a split segment lose their translation status and translated content. Merged segments also lose their translation status, though the translated content is preserved.

Workflow information for the associated task is also affected, particularly with merges that result in partially translated segments. Content that has not been translated may be (incorrectly) counted as translated in the workflow information.
