Red-framed source and target segments

I have just done my first sdlxliff project (not package), and (I don't remember exactly after doing what) at the end of the translation all source and target segments appeared in red frames like in the attached picture.


In what occasion should this type of visualization appear?


Also—I may have already asked this but I can't remember—why do I have both "Project glossary" and "ProjectTerms" in the dashboard? In my case, ProjectTerms contains the Lexicon that I have exported from DVX, and I had to add it manually. 


I also noticed that since the red-framed source and target segments started to appear I cannot save the imported SDL TM anymore. 

Hello Mario,


This was introduced in CafeTran Espresso 2018 Akua Update 6

 - https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/6000054033


What's new:

  • Approved segment status - see the status selection box in the target segment toolbar. - Approved segments are marked with the red border around the status cell in the grid. The new segment status maps to "Translated" status in the external sdlxliff files. There is also a new filter for "Approved" and "Not approved" segments.
So, when you Finalize the translation, it gets the new Approved status in CafeTran, which is currently mapped to the Translated status in SDL Trados.

SDLTM memories are imported as TMXmemories  in CafeTran. I think they are in read-only mode by default (you can choose at the start). I would check if that is so in your case (view the TM options).

Thank you Jean,


I just wonder if red is an appropriate colour to confirm that "everything is OK". Red is usually a warning colour, and all those red segments just raise an instinctive concern. Perhaps only, let's say, one border of the cells can be made red-coloured?

Here I have another question: yesterday, when I did my first Studio project I imported the SDLTM memory with the "Import SDL memory" command. This is a very nice implementation, for the process is very straightforward and fast. But, when I quit CafeTran and then I reopened it the imported SDLTM was gone, and it was necessary to repeat the import process. I tried to see whether there are specific settings to change this behaviour, but I found none.

 

I will also check whether I can make the imported SDLTM memories writeable too.
