When working on a WorldServer project created by opening a WSXZ package in Trados Studio, if a segment is changed manually (no matter if the segment is a fuzzy match or a new segment), the
content of the target segment will always be imported into WorldServer during the import of the Return package. You can check this by opening the Task in Browser Workbench or Online Editor after the upload/import.
However, you can control whether the Translation Memory will be updated with the content of the changed segment.
- If you make a manual change to the target segment and set the segment to status Not translated in Trados Studio, the TM will not be updated and the segment will have No Status in WorldServer (when opened in Browser Workbench)
- If you make a manual change to the target segment and set the segment to status Draft in Trados Studio, the TM will not be updated and the segment will have No Status in WorldServer (when opened in Browser Workbench)
- If you make a manual change to the target segment and set the segment to status Translation Rejected or Sign-Off Rejected, the TM will be updated with a new TM entry with the status Rejected and the segment will have the status Rejected in WorldServer (when opened in Browser Workbench)
- If you make a manual change to the target segment and set the segment to status Translated in Trados Studio, the TM will be updated as Pending Review and the segment status will be Pending Review
- If you make a manual change to the target segment and set the segment to status Translation Approved or Signed-Off in Trados Studio, the TM will be updated as Reviewed and the segment status (when opened in Browser Workbench) will be Reviewed.
- If you lock and confirm a segment in Trados Studio, after import, a locked TM entry will be created. If you then unlock the segment, make a change and re-upload the Return package, you change will be written in the target file, but the locked TM entry will NOT be changed. Note: You can also prevent to prevent the locking of the TM entries in general by setting this property to false in tm.properties:
enable_tm_entry_locking_for_locked_segments=false
If you do not work in Trados Studio, but in Browser Workbench or Online Editor only, please refer to this article:
WorldServer: in a live-TM environment, which Segment Status set in Browser Workbench or Online Editor updates the TM when saved and what is the correspondent TM entry status?
