Confirmation of aligned reference material

Hi,

I am translating a project with aligned reference material that should be revised before using it for the translation.

Does anybody have an idea how to set up the pretranslation settings so that translation matches from the current text (i.e. segments that I have already revised/translated myself) are inserted and confirmed automatically while matches from the aligned translation may be inserted but not confirmed as translated?

I have already played around with basically all settings in the Project settings - Pretranslation window as well as the Matches - Fuzzy Search window. So far, nothing has worked. I have checked "Set segment status to 'Check pretranslation' if aligned segment was used" and set the status for pretranslated segments to "As reference segment" (the status of the aligned segments is "Alignment checked") as there is no option to set a lower status. I have done this in the project settings as well as the User Preferences.

Whatever I have tried, I will either get ALL 100% matches (alignment plus current translation) automatically inserted and confirmed or none.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

TIA, Iris
