Aside from Dependencies, now you can manage your source language data using the Source Status settings.

About source status

Source status allows you to set the status of a cell in the source language column if there are dependencies added between the source columns and any other columns.

A source status can affect whether a cell is locked and if a record can be exportable when creating Localization export

To simplify things, we’ll call cells that are in the source language column Source cells, and cells that are in the target language column Target cells.

Source status types

There are 5 types of source status (applied for both the CMS and CAT module): Ready for translation, Not ready for translation, Do not translate, Locked, Not set.

Icon	Status	Edit/Paste to Source cell	Edit/Paste to Target cell	Included when Localization export	Note
	Ready for translation	✅	✅	✅	This is the default status of source cells when a source language column is imported.
	Not ready for translation	✅	❌	(optional)	Including Not-ready-for-translation record can be configured in Localization export settings
	Do not translate	✅	❌	❌	When set to this status, records will not be counted towards Total records in the Translation Overview.
	Locked	❌	✅	✅
	Not set	✅	✅	❌	When a new record is created, the source cell is set as “Not set”.

Not set

When a new record is created, the source cell is set as Not set. This is the initial status of the cell, Once edited, the status will change to Ready for translation.

Ready for translation 

When a source cell is set as Ready for translation, it means that you can edit, copy and paste the target cell freely. When a source language column is imported, this is the default status of the source cells.

Not ready for translation 

When a source cell is set as Not ready for translation, the target cell is locked, indicating that you can neither edit the cell nor paste content into this cell.

Do not translate

When a source cell is set as Do not translate, the target cell is locked, indicating that you can neither edit the cell nor paste content into this cell.

Locked

When a source cell is set as Locked, the source cell itself is locked, indicating that you can neither edit the source cell nor paste content into this cell, the target cell is editable.
