How to tell GT4T not to translate certain words
Go to GT4T main settings screen. Click Simple Glossary
-> Edit Glossary
to add a vocabulary entry.
When adding entries, keep the translation the same as the original.
Select Post-translate
from the Fix automatic translation with Glossary
drop-down menu. When translating again with GT4T, the entries in the glossary will no longer be translated.
When translating IT and software content, there are often a large number of terms that do not need to be translated. You can use GT4T’s glossary to set the terms that do not need to be translated as non-translatables, so that automatic translation will not translate these term. This can greatly improve the quality of the translation.

Correct automatic translation results using glossary
Go to GT4T main setting screen. Click Simple Glossary
and select Post-translate
from the Fix automatic translation with Glossary
drop-down menu.
Fix automatic translation with Glossary
works both for GT4T shortcuts and for the file translator.
In this example below, Spring Framework
added as a non-translatable is no longer automatically translated to 春天框架
.
Known Issues: When adding a glossary, if for example both Spring Framework
and Spring
are available, the short Spring
should be placed last, allowing GT4T to match the long ones first.
