Hello,

I need to change some words (for example this: __price__) into a tag in Trados Studio so as to be non translatable. Do someone know how to do it?

Example: "Book this flight for __price__"
"__price__" needs to be changed into tag so as translator just copy it into the target without editing.


Thank you very much! ▲ Collapse

Variables Feb 11, 2016

How about defining them as variables?
Go to your project settings (if you're already working on a file), go to translation memory, highlight it and click "settings". Select "language resources", "Variable list" and add the terms.

Now these non-translatables will be highlighted in the source segments with blue brackets underneath. Transfer them to the target side by selecting them with the shortcut Ctrl+comma.

Maybe this would work?
