Negative word count

Could anyone please explain why when the translation is over I finally received negative figures on the bottom bar in Editor view (top picture) and the status in Files view for this file is "In review" instead of "Translated" and the Progress is 0? Never faced this problem in Studio 2011. Is it possible to handle this issue and how? TIA

  • Hi Dmitriy,

    This seems to be a refresh issue, and it can normally be resolved by running a wordcount via the batch tasks.  If you can reliably cause this to happen it would be helpful if you could share the steps as we have been unable to see exactly why this happens.

    So perhaps try the wordcount and let us know if this resolves it.

  • Hi Paul,

    A new file and the same story. Run a wordcount via the batch tasks. The results are: 1) status - In Review; 2) progress - 0. However, having run "Open for Review" and then closing the progress is 100% and the status is "In Sign-Off". Weird!

  • I can't be 100% certain, but it seems like you've encountered one of my pet peeves there: You open a file for review, you close it and you just intuitively hit enter because when you close a document in virtually any other application, you're prompted to save. Trados, however, does not prompt you to save but instead asks if you wish to complete the review process. You hit enter, all segment statuses are changed to "reviewed",  and my colleagues never fail to get a kick out of the disgruntled noise I make when it happened again. Is this what happened with your project?

    As for your original question, the file status is always based on the lowest segment status. If all segments are translated and you have but one segment that was reviewed (e.g. because it was a PM), the file status is "in review". To be honest, I don't remember anymore how this was handled in Studio 2011.

    I also occasionally came across negative figures in the bottom status bar in the editor. Sometimes I cannot explain them, but most of the time this happens it's because I split or merge segments and the status bar can't seem to keep up.
