Why does Analyze count locked segments?

Anthony Rudd

I am running with Trados Studio 2019 and have encountered a strange situation in a current project.

I ran Analyze with the result that almost all segments are untranslated (New/AT segments 138). When I opened the file I saw that a large part of the file was locked and translated.
I used ADF to filter the file for "locked" segments; result 113/184.

Because I use the Analyze results for my quote, I need a reliable value. What is happening here?

    Hello,

    It seems you are encountering a situation where locked segments are being included in the analysis results, which is affecting the reliability of your word count for quoting purposes. Let me guide you through the possible reasons and solutions:

    ### Step 1: Understand the Behavior of Locked Segments in Analysis

    By default, Trados Studio 2019 includes locked segments in the analysis unless you explicitly configure the settings to exclude them. This is why your Analyze Files task is counting locked segments, even though they are already translated.

    ### Step 2: Adjust the Analysis Settings

    To ensure locked segments are excluded from the analysis, follow these steps:

    1. Open your project in Trados Studio 2019.

    2. Go to **Batch Tasks** and select **Analyze Files**.

    3. In the **Analyze Files** settings, look for the option to exclude locked segments. This is typically found under the **Project Settings** > **Language Pairs** > **Batch Processing** > **Analyze Files**.

    4. Check the box for **Exclude locked segments** (or a similar option).

    5. Save the settings and re-run the Analyze Files task.

    ### Step 3: Verify the Results
