      Non-translatable list

      Thy Nguyen

      Updated on March 5th, 2025

      This feature is available for both the CMS and CAT modules. 

       

      A non-translatable list is a list of names, abbreviations, words, and expressions not for translation. These must be copied to the translation. Gridly identifies these texts based on a non-translatable list that you create and suggests them as you translate.
