Working with tags

A tag is inline text that is not translatable. For example, HTML code within a sentence. Target segments should have the same tags as the source segment, however depending on the language sometimes a tag is not needed. If you try to save a target segment with missing tags, a warning message appears. Find below an example of a source segment with two tags:

 

Please contact the hotel for further information at {ut1}info@companyname.com{ut2}.

 

The {ut1} and {ut2} text strings represent tags.
