Write packages even if target file is written

Problem title: Cannot write packages when target file is written

Description:

When trying to write a package in a given project, an error message appears informing user that one or more files have been finalized already and need to be set back into bilingual state. This message appears even if the language user wants to write package in is not finalized, and it appears regardless of whether the command is entered in global “Project” view or in language-level “File” view. In a project of e.g. 30 languages and 50 files, searching for the finalized files can be extremely frustrating and time-consuming.

Expected behavior:

User should be able to write packages, at least on language level (“Files” view), even if some or all files have been finalized in other languages. Additionally, there should be a global button allowing to set back all finalized files into bilingual state.

Screenshot of Trados Studio with an error dialog box titled 'Fehler beim Erstellen des Pakets'. The error message states that some files are finalized and must be set back to bilingual to proceed. Behind the dialog, a project file list is partially visible.

  • Hi Paul, you are right about reverting, but in my experience, simply having written target file(s) for one language or translation file prevents me from writing packages, even if I have not finalized the project. In that case, I have to go through all languages to check which file needs to be reverted. Having a one-click solution here would be sweet imho.
