Translation Manager uses the ten standard XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) statuses. You can use some or all of these statuses, depending on your organization and process. Translation Manager groups the statuses into three categories: "New", "Need to do", and "Done". When you add a language, the cells have a status in the "Need to do" category. The content appears in blue in the "Translation Editor" view. Content that has been added to or edited in a previously translated document has a status of "New". Once you have translated the content of a cell, the status automatically changes to TRANSLATED, which is in the "Done" category. When you set a language to Ready for use and export the document to the Content Management Server, strings with a status in the "Done" category are visible in the client query and reporting tools. Filtering cells displayed in the List view by status can help you manage the translation workflow. Use the Cell Properties view to see the status of a cell.
