[Editor](https://guides.matecat.com/editor?hsLang=en) # Segment status and filters Matecat allows you to track the status of each segment and filter segments according to their status or other criteria. This helps you organize your translation workflow, focus on specific segments and manage your progress more efficiently. ### **Segment status** Each segment has a **status bar** on its right-hand side. Its colour changes depending on the actions performed on the segment. The available statuses are: - **NEW**: The segment is untouched and has not been opened yet. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-31-59-6062-PM.png?width=670&height=46&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-31-59-6062-PM.png) - **DRAFT**: The segment has been opened but the translation has not been saved as Translated. The status bar is grey. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-4344-PM.png?width=670&height=78&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-4344-PM.png) - **TRANSLATED**: The translation has been saved. The status bar color turns blue. This also updates the Translation Memory (TM), if available.. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-6984-PM.png?width=670&height=87&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-6984-PM.png) **Note:** If you move to the next segment (CTRL + Down) or the previous segment (CTRL + Up) without clicking the **Translated** button, your translation will still be saved in the file, but the TM will not be updated. - **AUTOPROPAGATED**: The segment is a repetition and its translation has been automatically populated by Matecat based on the translation applied to the first occurrence. The status bar is striped. More information about Autopropagation is available [here](https://guides.matecat.com/autopropagation?hsLang=en). ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-9524-PM.png?width=670&height=45&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-9524-PM.png) - **APPROVED**: The translation has been reviewed and confirmed. The status bar turns green. This also appears when a segment has a **101% match**. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-31-59-9046-PM.png?width=670&height=77&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-31-59-9046-PM.png) - **APPROVED IN REVISION 2**: The translation has been approved during a second revision stage. The status bar turns purple. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-1617-PM.png?width=670&height=69&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-00-1617-PM.png) ### **Filter segments** While translating, you may need to focus on specific segments rather than the entire document. Matecat allows you to filter segments by status and other criteria. To filter segments, click on the **funnel icon** in the **job’s** **top bar**. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-6817-PM.png?width=670&height=56&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-6817-PM.png) The filters are organized into **two groups**: ###### **1. Segment Status** These filters allow you to display segments according to their current status: - **NEW**: Segments that have not been opened yet. - **DRAFT**: Segments that have been edited but not saved as Translated. - **TRANSLATED**: Segments whose translations have been saved. - **APPROVED**: Segments that have been reviewed and confirmed. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-01-4822-PM.png?width=150&height=177&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-01-4822-PM.png) ###### **2. Other Filters** These filters allow you to refine your selection based on additional criteria: - **101% match**: Locked segments with a 101% match. - **Not 101% match**: Segments with a match below 101%. - **Modified 101% match**: Previously locked 101% match segments that have been unlocked and modified. - **Repetitions**: Repeated segments. - **MT**: Segments where the first suggestion comes from Machine Translation. - **100% Matches**: Segments where the first suggestion from the Translation Memory (TM) is a 100% match. - **Fuzzies 75-84%**: Segments with a fuzzy match between 75% and 84%. - **Fuzzies 85-94%**: Segments with a fuzzy match between 85% and 94%. - **Fuzzies 95-99%**: Segments with a fuzzy match between 95% and 99%. - **To do**: Segments that still need to be translated. ### Navigating filtered segments Once you select a filter, Matecat displays the number of segments matching your criteria. Use the navigation arrows to move between the segments in the filtered group. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-1295-PM.png?width=670&height=54&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-1295-PM.png) **Note:** If the filter does not apply to the segment you are currently working on, the message **Segment not in sample** will appear. This is only an informational message and does not indicate an error. **![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-9519-PM.png?width=670&height=356&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-9519-PM.png)** ### **Changing segment status in bulk** You can also change the status of multiple segments at once. To do so, select the desired filter, select all the filtered segments and choose the option to mark them as **Translated** or **Approved**. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-01-1919-PM.png?width=670&height=78&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-01-1919-PM.png) ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-3825-PM.png?width=670&height=76&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-02-3825-PM.png) **Note:** In Revision mode, bulk status changes apply only to segments that have already been saved as Translated. Please note that, both in translation or revision mode, the bulk approval doesn’t update the matches in the Translation Memory. To save the match it is necessary to save each segment. ![](https://guides.matecat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-01-7180-PM.png?width=670&height=279&name=undefined-Nov-11-2026-12-32-01-7180-PM.png) - [Getting Started](https://guides.matecat.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Matecat overview](https://guides.matecat.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#matecat-overview) - [Data security](https://guides.matecat.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#data-security) - [Workflow](https://guides.matecat.com/workflow?hsLang=en) - [Machine Translation](https://guides.matecat.com/machine-translation?hsLang=en) - [Language assets](https://guides.matecat.com/language-assets?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Translation Memories](https://guides.matecat.com/language-assets?hsLang=en#translation-memories) - [Termbase](https://guides.matecat.com/language-assets?hsLang=en#termbase) - [Project Analysis](https://guides.matecat.com/project-analysis?hsLang=en) - [Editor](https://guides.matecat.com/editor?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Revision](https://guides.matecat.com/editor?hsLang=en#revision) - [Settings](https://guides.matecat.com/editor?hsLang=en#settings) - [Workspace](https://guides.matecat.com/workspace?hsLang=en) - [Tags](https://guides.matecat.com/tags?hsLang=en) - [Working faster](https://guides.matecat.com/working-faster?hsLang=en) - [Quality check tools](https://guides.matecat.com/quality-check-tools?hsLang=en) - [Advanced Features](https://guides.matecat.com/advanced-features?hsLang=en) - [Matecat utilities](https://guides.matecat.com/matecat-utilities?hsLang=en) - [Google integration](https://guides.matecat.com/google-integration?hsLang=en) - [Contact us](https://guides.matecat.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://guides.matecat.com/hubfs/logo_matecat_small-1.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.matecat.com) The Matecat support team is available Monday/Friday from 9:00 to 19:00 CET.
