When opening your Matecat translation editor you may notice that some segments appear as already approved and locked.
This occurs when Matecat detects a 101% match from the translation memory (TM) associated with the project.
A 101% match is identified for a segment when the TM contains a 100% match that also shares the same context as the current segment (meaning it is preceded and followed by the same segments). In these cases, the segment is automatically confirmed and locked.
This behavior prevents users from introducing inconsistencies by modifying content that has already been translated in the same context.
If you need to modify a locked segment, click the lock icon on the left side of the segment to unlock it.
After editing the segment, click the Translated button to confirm and save your changes in the translation stage, or the Approved button in revision stages (Rev 1 and Rev 2)
