Reset state of SOURCE phrases

We are using Passolo 2018, but this should apply to most versions.

We have been localizing our software project (*.lpu) for quite a while and are starting a new release version. In the TARGET languages I can set the status of phrases to "validated" once they have been checked. Is there a way to (re)set the status of the SOURCE language, so that they no longer show "new" or "changed" while keeping "read-only" ? Several of these phrases haven't changed in years.

Trados Studio interface showing a list of source strings with their status marked as 'new' highlighted in red.

Thank you for your advice!

  • The New and Changed flags are cumulative and will not be deleted automatically. In software localization projects that are updated by development frequently, project managers want to track all the daily/weekly/monthly changes, done by developers.

    Yes, when starting a new release version, it is best practice to delete all New and Changed flags created in the previous localization cycle in all source lists. The mouse cursor in your screenshot it positioned quite good for this task. Select multiple source lists from the project view, or select all strings in the source string list, then call Reset Data from the Home ribbon. In the upcoming dialog, you can select to delete the New and Changed flags.

    Trados Studio dialog box titled 'Reset Data' with options to apply to selected strings, a specific source list, or all string lists in project. Options to reset user-defined properties, 'changed' and 'new' flags, and empty recycle bin are shown.
