Edit non-translatable list

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 assurance (QA) warnings if a non-translatable part is missing from the translation.
