Hi, recently I have received several TTX format files from my client. But there are some sentences or paragraphs, which I do not need to translate. So I want to make them non-translatable. But I when I tried to use the style to mask them, it didn't work out. Later I found that it is because TTX files don't work with the style.
So can anybody give me some tips to finish my purpose.

In Tag-Editor, it is only possible to write protect strings with the help of tags. So if your strings are always delimited by univoque tags, then you can use them in your file type definition for self-defined formats (AFAIK, predefined filters cannot be changed). If this is not the case, I am afraid, that there is no hope. If you work on a word or RTF file, you could try to define your non-translatables before exporting it to TagEditor - I never tried this, thus I cannot swear that it will work....

| How to convert translatable to Non-translatable | Jan 31, 2007 |
Hi,
There is one way though it is dangerous. You can open those segments in Tageditor and insert the original text in the target without updating the TM.
Then, open the ttx file with Notepad. Select Tu MatchPercent="0" of those segments and replace it with Tu Origin="xtranslate".
This would convert translatable segments into Xtranslated. You will not be able to modify them and when analysing ttx files, they will not be count.
Best regards,

TOPIC STARTER | Thank you all | Feb 1, 2007 |
Thank you for your suggestions, Geneviève and omartin. Although they may be viable, It seems that there is no better way.
I will keep trying.
