Defining Text as Untranslatable

When creating Progress applications, a developer can explicitly use the :U character-string literal after a text phrase to mark the text phrase as “Untranslatable.” For example, the developer might not want to translate the name of your company or the name of a product, an internal key value, or a string used in determining program behavior. The developer can use the :U notation to ensure that the Translation Manager will not even display a given text phrase in the list of phrases to be translated.

When you extract text phrases in Translation manager, the Compiler automatically filters out and does not extract those phrases marked :U. You do not have to set this filter in the Translation Manager. You should encourage the developers to use the :U character string literal appropriately to make the task of selecting filters easier. See the Progress AppBuilder Developer’s Guide for more information on filters.
