Edit non-translatable list

A non-translatable list is a list of names, abbreviations, words, and expressions that you must not translate. These must be copied to the translation.

If you have a non-translatable list in your project: You can click to copy them to the translation in the translation editor. Non-translatables are there on the Translation results list, too.

memoQ checks non-translatables: You may get quality (QA) warnings if a non-translatable part is missing from the translation.

In this window, you can edit a list of non-translatable expressions.

Or - after you add the list to your project -, you can add non-translatables to it directly from the translation editor: On the Translation ribbon, click Add Non-Translatable.

How to get here

Open the Resource Console. Choose Non-translatables. In the list, click the non-translatable list you want to edit. Under the list, click Edit.

From a project: Open a project. In Project home, choose Settings. In the Settings pane, click the Non-translatable lists icon. This icon says [sic!] Under the list, click Create/use new. This command creates the non-translatable list, and adds it to the project.

From an online project: Open an online project for management. In the memoQ online project window, choose Settings. In the Settings pane, click the Non-translatable lists icon. This icon says [sic!] Under the list, click Create/use new. This command creates the non-translatable list, and adds it to the project.

What can you do?

• Add a new expression to the list: Type it in the box at the bottom. Click Add.
• Change an existing expression: Click it in the list. The expression appears at the bottom. Make changes there. Click Change.
