About translation statuses
SDL Studio GroupShare shows the translation status for each project uploaded to GroupShare, and for each document included in the project.
These statuses are set in SDL Trados Studio and indicate the translation progress of the project documents. The document translation status depends on the segment statuses set in Studio, in the Editor view. The project translation status depends on the translation status set in Studio, in the Projects view.
How translation statuses are set
Typically the workflow routing of a translatable item is based in part on the item's translation statuses:
- The translator works on a document and changes the translation status for each translation segment from the Studio Editor view.
- The segment translation statuses automatically update the document translation status in the Studio Files view.
- The translator checks in the document from Studio, to update the translation and the translation statuses for the GroupShare project.
- GroupShare shows the current translation status for the project and the current translation statuses for the documents in the Project view and the Files tab.
| Project Translation Status | Description |
|---|---|
| In Progress | The project needs further work and translators can download the project from the GroupShare server to complete the translation in Studio. |
| Completed | Translators have completed the work on the project and the Project Manager has marked the project as complete in the Studio Project view. |
| Document Translation Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Unspecified | The document has not been edited yet and all the segments in the document are Not Translated. |
| In Translation | At least one target segment in the document has been set to Draft. |
| Translated | All the segments in the document are Translated in Studio. |
| In Review | No segments are Not Translated or Draft, and at least one segment is Translated. |
| Translation Rejected | No segments are Not Translated, Draft or Translated, and at least one segment is Translation Rejected. |
