Hi,
I´m working on a website translation and I don´t know if the following segment should be translated:
Name | *name=input
Position | *position=input
Company | *Company=input
Email | *email=input | | EMAIL
Telephone number | *Telephone_number=input
How can we help?
| How_can_we_help=textarea,40,5
Thanks!

My guess is that that is an input box of sorts, and I would translate the stuff before the pipes.

You'd better learn PHP or asp.net in advance before you translate the website. After that you could know what to translate and what should not.

Your translation tool parser should decide for you - if you have the correct file format
Feb 21
What is to the left of the pipe (vertical bar) is the visible, translatable string. What is to the right of the pipe is the untranslatable alias for each value.
Best way to translate web site content is to translate the resources/content in their native format using a proper parser in your translation tool. The parser then knows - based on the native file format - what to present as translatable, and what to protect as untranslatable.
If instead everything is taken to for example simple columns in a spreadsheet (often done, alas) or similar, then the translation tool / parser, cannot know what to protect and what to allow for translation.
