Translation statuses

SDL Trados GroupShare shows the translation status for each project uploaded to SDL Trados 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 SDL Trados Studio, in the Editor view. The project translation status depends on the translation status set in Trados 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:

  1. The translator works on a document and changes the translation status for each translation segment from the Trados Studio Editor view.
  2. The segment translation statuses automatically update the document translation status in the Trados Studio Files view.
  3. The translator checks in the document from Trados Studio, to update the translation and the translation statuses for the SDL Trados GroupShare project.
  4. SDL Trados GroupShare shows the current translation status for the project and the current translation statuses for the documents in the Projects view and the Files tab.

Project Translation StatusDescription
In Progress

The project needs further work and translators can download the project from the SDL Trados GroupShare server to complete the translation in Trados Studio.

Completed

Translators have completed the work on the project and the Project Manager has marked the project as complete in the Trados Studio Project view.

Archived

With the work done on a project and delivered to the client, the Project Manager might want to declutter the SDL Trados GroupShare projects list and archive the project. The project will be hidden from the Trados Studio workflow.

Detached

To completely remove a project from the SDL Trados GroupShare, but still keep an offline copy, the Project Manager can detach the project from the server.
