Hello,  

It seems you are experiencing discrepancies in segment statuses when importing XTM XLF files into Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to address this issue:

**Step 1:** Verify Segment Status Mapping  

Check the "Segment status mapping" settings in Trados Studio for the XLIFF file type. This feature allows you to control how segment statuses are interpreted between XTM and Trados Studio. Ensure that the mappings are set correctly to reflect the statuses you expect.

**Step 2:** Update Trados Studio  

Make sure you are using the latest version of Trados Studio 2024. Updates often include fixes for known issues, including those related to segment status discrepancies.

**Step 3:** Use Workarounds  

If the issue persists, consider using the following workarounds:

- **Manual Adjustment:** You can manually change the segment statuses in Trados Studio by right-clicking on the segment and selecting "Change Segment Status." This can be done for individual segments or multiple segments at once.

- **Segment Status Switcher:** Install the Segment Status Switcher from the RWS AppStore. This tool allows you to quickly change segment statuses with keyboard shortcuts, which can save time.

**Step 4:** Check for Known Issues  

Review the RWS knowledge base or community forums for any known issues related to segment status mapping between XTM and Trados Studio. There may be specific updates or patches available that address this problem.

**Step 5:** Test with Different Files  

If possible, test the import process with different XTM files to see if the issue is consistent across all files or specific to certain ones. This can help identify if the problem lies within the files themselves.

By following these steps, you should be able to align the segment statuses between XTM and Trados Studio more effectively.

Can you tell me how exactly to set the statuses for the MT pretranslated segments to appear as Draft?

The mapping statuses between the XLF and the SDLXLIFF are set in Project Settings > File Types > XLIFF > Segment Status Mapping. You can also set how Trados Studio writes its own statuses to the XLF file when you are done. Below is just an mapping example, just can tweak it as it suits you:

but when I open the files I note the segment statuses in Studio are not the same as the ones in XTM

You can see that statuses differ, at least tey have different name, but you can mapp them as shown above in the animated image.

Hello  Jesús Prieto 

Thank you for your prompt answer.

I've looked into this but it seems a bit more complex (or I'm simply not understanding the process)

When checking the files in XTM, I see the below

and I need 

the ICE to be/stay locked

the MTd ones to appear as Draft

and the M one to appear as Not translated

Do you think this is possible?
