You are right, "translated" doesn't exist.

Same thing happens with Heartsome's XLIFF editor.

I believe that Josep was looking for an alternative way to indicate that
final approval depends on two people, the translator and the reviewer.
He also mentioned the "state" attribute of <target>, which could be used
for that. Unfortunately, the "state" attribute can be set to any value
by the translation tool, making it unusable for what Josep wants.
