πŸ“„ Why isn't my translation progress at 100% after uploading a Revision?

When you upload a new revision of a document in Redokun, you may notice that the translation progress drops below 100%. This is normal and ensures the quality of your translations.

This guide explains why this happens and how to restore the missing progress.


πŸ” Why Does Progress Drop After a Revision?

Redokun uses contextual analysis to ensure translations remain accurate. When a new revision is uploaded:

  • Redokun compares the segments from the old and new versions.
  • If a segment’s surrounding context (such as adjacent sentences) changes, Redokun treats that segment as new.
  • These changed segments are unconfirmed and need to be reviewed before they count toward your progress.

❗ Even if the sentence looks identical, Redokun may mark it as "to be translated" if its context has changed.


βœ… What Happens to My Previous Translations?

Redokun preserves all confirmed and draft translations from the previous revision.

  • Segments with no changes are automatically reused.
  • Segments with contextual changes appear in the Web Editor with suggestions from your Translation Memory.

You don’t lose your previous work β€” you just need to review and confirm any changed segments.


⚑ How to Restore Progress with Pre-Translate

To quickly reapply previous translations:

  1. Go to the Document Detail page.
  2. Click Pre-Translate.
  3. Select if you also want to use AI translations.
  4. Run Pre-Translate to auto-fill matching segments.
  5. Review and confirm the suggested translations.

βœ… This step is especially useful if many segments were flagged as changed due to layout or formatting edits.


🧠 Why Redokun Works This Way

This behavior ensures that translations remain context-aware and accurate, especially in:

  • Legal documents
  • Technical manuals
  • Product content with conditional wording

By requiring confirmation of changed segments, Redokun helps your team avoid costly or embarrassing translation mistakes.
