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 assurance (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.
