The secondary language status controls what type of texts appear in the worklists and the statistics, according to their status. This is particularly important when the source language of an object you are translating is actually not the original language of the object, in other words it is a translation. There are four possible attributes which you can select for each target language.

The settings made in this function allow worklists to be generated for the respective objects in transaction SE63. If the relevant statuses are not set to Translate, it will not be possible to call a worklist for the respective objects in SE63.

For example, if status 1 is set, the translator will be able to call a worklist of those objects in which the source language has been evaluated and the secondary language has been evaluated.

The statuses have the following meanings and relate to objects, not individual text lines:

• Status 1: Source text is "correctly" translated, and the objects have been evaluated in the runs.
• Status 2: Source text is "correctly" translated, but no evaluation has yet taken place.
• Status 3: Source text is not "correctly" translated, for example, contains modified texts that have not yet been translated, but the target language needs to translate.
• Status 4: Source text is not in the same system. The status of the source text is unknown.
