Set Translation Status (Group Box)

Assign a certain translation status to items that were automatically translated so you can easily find and review them in the project.  Select one state for texts that matched 100% and select another for texts that had a match value of less than 100%.

 

  TIPs:
------------

Translation Status

You can specify a certain translation status to be assigned to items that have been automatically translated with a source text match value of 100% or less.  For example, it is useful to give automatically translated items the translation status "for review" so that these can be easily found and reviewed in RC-WinTrans.

Default settings:

Translated with 100% match:  Translation status = "translated"

Translated with 50% – 99% match:  Translation status = "review translation"
