Create new 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.
This command creates a new empty non-translatable list. After this, you must edit it to add the actual non-translatable expressions. Or, you can add non-translatables from the translation editor: On the Translation ribbon, click Add Non-Translatable.

What can you do?

Give a name and a description to the non-translatable list
- Type a name in the Name box. The name must be unique on your computer - or on the server where you're creating it.
