I'm currently doing a job in Across that was going pretty smoothly until I came across some segments that are sort of "greyed out" (well, they have a grey background instead of a white background). I'm pretty sure these segments are meant to be translated, but I can't do anything with them. I can't copy from the source to target segment or type anything in the target segment at all.

I'm currently doing a job in Across that was going pretty smoothly until I came across some segments that are sort of "greyed out" (well, they have a grey background instead of a white background). I'm pretty sure these segments are meant to be translated, but I can't do anything with them. I can't copy from the source to target segment or type anything in the target segment at all. All the usual menu buttons become unavailable when I go into any of these "greyed out" segments. Everything is back to normal when I go into any segment with a white background.

Does anyone know what causes this kind of problem and whether there is any sort of fix or workaround for it? ▲ Collapse

Think I've figured it out ... Aug 27, 2012

I think I might have figured it out now, actually. It appears the segments in question are locked. This is something project managers can do before assigning a task. As I'm still quite new to Across, I did not know this. So I guess the client just doesn't want those segments translated, but I'll check that with them. I think only they can unlock them again.

That's right, the greyed-out segments are locked. It's something a project manager can do with a document settings template when he creates a project for you.
It's good to check this with the PM, but most likely everything is working as intended
