Issue with segment status when importing XTM XLF files into Studio 2024

Hello,

I'm importing files from XTM into Studio.

The XLF files are imported without any apparent issues  but when I open the files I note the segment statuses in Studio are not the same as the ones in XTM.

For instance, the 1st segment is not translated in XTM and does appear as Draft in Studio

The 2nd segment appears as MTd in XTM and as Translated in Studio

the 3rd segment appears as ICE in XTM and as Translated (just like the 2nd one) in Studio

Screenshot showing error messages in a table format with segment statuses: 'Multiple campaigns exist for this instance' marked as M, 'There is already an active campaign for this instance' marked as MT, and 'Delegated Authentication and Password Push cannot both be enabled' marked as ICE.

Screenshot showing a similar table with error messages: 'Multiple campaigns exist for this instance', 'There is already an active campaign for this instance', and 'Delegated Authentication and Password Push cannot both be enabled', all marked as TU+.

How can I make sure the statuses are similar between the tools?

Thank you

    Question improvement suggestion: Provide the exact version of Trados Studio you are using and any recent changes made to your setup or workflow.  

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

    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?
