| Site Translator : Tags to Exclude from Translation |
Tags to Exclude From Translation
Site Translator will translate text between most HTML tags. All text enclosed in a paragraph <p>, title <title>, and bullet list <ul> tags will be translated. What if you do not want certain text translated? For instance, suppose your company's name is "Acme Consumer Products", and this is the title of all your web pages. You can instruct the program not to translate the page title, by adding the <title> tag to the Tag list.
The program will not translate anything between the <title> and </title> tags. All you need to do is enter the Opening tag <title> and the text into the Tag List. The Closing tag </title> will automatically be entered at the end of the text when you click on Add.
Even if other tags are in the area between these two tags, their contents will not be translated. For instance, if you place <ul> (bullet list) in the Tag List, none of the text in the list will be translated even if it is enclosed in paragraph <p> tags, which are NOT in the list.
Tag Lists are saved as part of a Profile.
Note: Site Translator never translates the contents of <script> tags.
You can also mark any area of a page not to be translated by using a custom tag. Add the tag <notranslate> to the Tag List. Any text between <notranslate> and </notranslate> will be skipped over during translation.
To create a Tag List, on the Translate Files tab click Edit. The Edit Tag window appears. Type the tags whose contents you would like to leave untranslated in the Tag to Exclude area and press Enter, or click Add. You do NOT need to put angle brackets around the tag. When entering title into the list, type "title", not "<title>".
You can Find, Remove and Edit existing entries by selecting them and clicking the appropriate buttons. After the selection. click on the Close button.
