Dear all,
I have Trados Freelance 7.0.0.615 running on Windows XP.
Is there a quick and easy way to mark a section of text non-translatable? I have a two-column table, one in German and another one in German to be translated into English and I would like Trados to ignore the first German column so that I can leave it the way it is.
Of course, I could delete it and paste it in again afterwards, but I would be interested to know if there is any more scientif... See more Dear all,

Thanks

I don't know either, but you might find the solution in a yesterday's posting:

I wasn't able to detect "styles" in the Format menu (yet I have to say they have different names in my language).

What is the format of the file with your table?
Do you want to use TagEditor or Workbench in Word?

Hi there,
It's a Word file I created myself from a PDF file. I'm using Trados on it in Word.
Thanks

@Henk:
Maybe the German term will help you find the right option. It's "Formatvorlagen".

Hi Ian,
Have a look at this thread: http://www.proz.com/topic/29725, especially Benjamin's posting. Works perfectly!

Change the style of the column you want to preserve to "DO_NOT_TRANSLATE"
I have this style in my Normal.dot and I believe I copied it there from Trados.dot.

That helps. Though with Dutch it's not "Formatvorlagen" ("format style"), but I think "opmaakprofielen" ("make up profiles") is the one for me.
Yes, the similarites between these three and of course the other Germanic languages is sobvious. Everyday I use
