Supervertaler v1.9.32 Release Notes

Release Date: December 10, 2025
Type: Critical Bug Fix
Status: Production Ready

---

🎯 Overview

Version 1.9.32 fixes a critical bug affecting Trados Studio return packages (SDLRPX). Translated segments were incorrectly staying in "Draft" status instead of being marked as "Translated", causing clients to see MT/draft content when opening return packages.

✨ What's New in v1.9.32

Critical Bug Fix - Fixes an issue where Trados SDLRPX return packages kept segments in "Draft" status instead of "Translated".

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Trados SDLRPX Status: Exported return packages now correctly mark segments as "Translated" instead of "Draft"
• Proper Trados Recognition: Clients opening return packages in Trados Studio now see translated content, not MT drafts

Technical Details

Problem: When exporting translations as an SDLRPX return package, all segments remained with conf="Draft" status instead of being updated to conf="Translated".

Root Cause: The _update_xliff_tree() function was updating target text but not the conf attribute in <sdl:seg> elements.

Solution:

• ✅ Added _update_segment_status() method to sdlppx_handler.py
• ✅ Updates conf attribute in sdl:seg-defs section during export
• ✅ Proper namespace handling for SDL elements

Testing: ✅ Verified with 35-segment patent translation

• Before fix: Draft: 35, Translated: 0 ❌
• After fix: Draft: 0, Translated: 35 ✅

📋 Re-exporting Existing Projects

Q: I have a saved project (.svproj) that was imported from SDLPPX. Do I need to re-import?

A: No! The fix is in the export code, not the import or project storage. Simply:

1. Open your existing project (.svproj file)
2. File → Export → Trados Studio → Return Package (SDLRPX)

The new export will correctly set all translated segments to "Translated" status.
