Hi there,
my file has locked segments (I don't know why they're locked) that I cannot unlock because the button is greyed out. Any ideas what I can do? It won't let me import the retrofit due to this. Any advice welcome! Thanks, Dani

Are the locked segments 100% matches?
If so, there is a setting to pre-translate files named Lock 100% matches (there is also a Lock context matches checkbox). Have you got any these checkboxes checked? On the other hand, if you have received a package, probably it was created with any of these settings.
I don't know why you're unable to unlock them…
I guess the keyboard shorcut CTRL+L doesn't work either, right?

HI Daniela,
Long-shot question... Are you viewing these locked segments with the 'All content' filter set? If so, they're embedded, inaccessible and not included in the translation count...
In what format was the original file? Can you save it to Target and see the locked content when you have?
All the best,
Ali
To change the Language: select the View ribbon, click on User Interface language, and then select English.
You can find the Lock 100% matches and Lock context matches following any of these routes:
Project settings > Language Pairs > Pre-Translate Files
File > Options > Language Pairs > Pre-Translate Files
If you created yourself the package, you could've changed this settings when you Prepared the file, in the Batch Processing step of the wizard, then Pre-translate Files:
