Right-click anywhere in the source or target segments to access the TXLF Editor Context Menu.

Status Icon	Segment Status
	A non-linguistic error has occurred in the segment during a Transcheck test
	The segment is locked, so you cannot edit it
	The segment is unconfirmed, so you cannot commit it to the translation memory
	The segment repeats more than once in the current file
	There is segment information available
	The segment has a note associated with it
	The source segment has been modified

Progress Bar

Once you have begun translation work, TXLF Editor registers progress at the bottom of the window.

Segments

View the number of segments completed versus the total number of segments

Segment (Src/Tgt/Max)

Check the number of characters in a source segment and the target segment, followed by the maximum number of characters allowed in the target segment

Note:

The Max segment value turns red when it exceeds the maximum allowed.

Paragraph (Src/Tgt/Max)

Check the number of characters in the source paragraph and the target paragraph, followed by the maximum number of characters allowed in the target paragraph

Note:

The Max segment value turns red when it exceeds the maximum allowed.

Word Count Progress Bar

View the percentage complete and the number of words remaining

Note:

The percentage complete will not progress if the target segment is empty, or if you have not modified machine translated or fuzzy segments. To progress to the next unedited or MT fuzzy segment, either use the Verify Segment action on the Translation tab or use the green checkmark in the Verification Column. Use the Recalculate Progress action button on the File tab to update the progress bar for files created or edited in older GlobalLink applications.
