Exclude one project component from translation

If you know that a project file shouldn't be sent to translation, you can use a component tag to tell other users that translation isn't required. This tag also tells Inspire not to make language copies of it or to send it to translation.

Restrictions

  • You must have Update permissions to the component to make tag changes. Tags are read-only for users without update permissions.
  • A content owner or administrator can set permissions to deny access to components or folders. If your permissions to content has been blocked and you are not an administrator, you cannot use the Details option in a project's Content pane.

Tips and tricks

  • Inspire provides the pre-defined system tag TranslateNotRequired. Administrators can only customize non-system tag names and availability.
  • After you save the tag, Inspire makes sure that the component can't be selected on the Translate Component screen, on the Components tab.
  • You can use this tag on binary components such as an image or PDF file.
