Inserting placeables

Placeables represent source file content that does not need to be translated or that can be automatically localized by applying a translation memory (TM).

Placeables include:
  • Dates
  • Times
  • Numbers (in numerals)
  • Acronyms and URLs
  • Variables
  • Measurements
  • Alphanumeric strings
  • Email addresses
  • Currencies
  • Inline tags

They are identified in the Editor window by a blue square-bracket underline.

The underline is only displayed when you have a TM open and the cursor is in the segment where the placeable is located.
