# FAQ: Why you see status Untranslated vs Partly-Translated 

*Seeing **"Untranslated"**or**"Partly-Translated"** status in your dashboard? Don't worry - this is normal and there are simple solutions depending on how you want to handle your translations. Let's help you choose the right approach.*

## I. What Do These Status Mean?

**"Untranslated"** - Content hasn't been translated yet  
**"Partly-Translated"** - Some content is translated, but other parts are still missing

These statuses appear when you're turn-on "**Editable" for your target languages** and haven't completed translations for all content elements.

## II. How Do You Want to Handle Translations?

Before fixing these statuses, it's important to decide your translation approach:

**• Do you prefer everything to be automatically translated?**
→ Choose the solution **Automatic Translation** if you want a hands-off approach and don't mind translation work

**• Do you want to edit translations yourself manually?**  
→ Choose the solution **Manual Translation Control** if you want control over translation quality and brand voice

## III. Solution for Automatic Translation (Hands-Off Approach)

If you want **automatic translation** without manual edit translation:

→ Go to **"Market** **management"** → **"Languages"**  
→ Select your target language  
→ Click the **"..."** menu  
→ Turn on **"3rd-party app"**

| Once enabled **"3rd-party translation"**, you don't need to worry about translation statuses anymore, Transcy will automatically translate all content for that language. 
| Once you enable "3rd-party translation", if you still see these statuses, such as "Untranslated", "Partly-Translated", or "Outdated", don't worry. These statuses are displayed to help users who want to manually edit translations. This means that once you enable "3rd-party translation", your store will be automatically translated, regardless of the status shown in the "Manage Translation" section, so you don't need to worry about it.

We recommend turning on "**3rd-party translation**" to keep your store fully translated and ensure a professional experience for customers visiting your store.

## IV. Solution for Manual Edit Translation Control

If you prefer to **edit or review translations manually**:

→ Go to "**Content translation**" **menu in Transcy**
→ Looking for **"Untranslated"** and **"Partly-Translated"** resources
→ Filter the resources inside by click on "**Edit translation**" (**a pencil icon**)
→ Select the resources you want to edit and translate again these resources

| You'll have complete control over how your content appears in each language, but it requires more hands-on work.

## V. Which Approach Should You Choose?

**Choose Automatic Translation if:**
* You want to save time and effort
* You're comfortable with translation automation quality
* You have many languages to manage

**Choose Manual Edit Translation if:**
* Brand voice and accuracy are critical
* You have specific terminology or tone requirements
* You prefer to review translations before they go live
