Processing the xlf files generated by Fluenta plugin from XML Oxygen DITA editor

When working on the updated xlf files generated by Fluenta plugin from XML Oxygen DITA editor (meaning the files once already translated, but later updated, so some segments are supposed to be re-translated as fuzzy matches, while others – untouched 100% matches – are locked), Studio Trados automatically locks also the updated segments. This happens probably due to fact, that Studio detects existing alt-trans (which is basically fuzzy match only, not 100% match). On the other hand, memoQ keeps them unlocked.

See the sample below showing the situation from the scratch.

1. This is how a new xlf file generated for translation looks. All segments have approved-no status (which is OK).

2. This is how the xlf file looks after being translated in Studio Trados. Everything is OK so far.

3. This is how the xlf file looks after I updated two segments (the segments I changed are highlighted). Their status is automatically changed to approved=no (this happens also for preceding and following segments automatically). Others have approved-yes

4. And this is how it looks like after being processed in Studio Trados. All approved=no segments are automatically locked. Probably because Studio Trados detect existing alt-trans (which is basically previous 100% match, now only a fuzzy match).

Is there any solution I can make to assure Studio Trados keeps approved-no segments unlocked?

Thanks a lot!
