How do I "lock" terms for translation in Rise 360?
Hello,
One of our software products that my company creates eLearning for already gets translated into a few languages, but the time is coming for more languages and for eLearning for other products to be translated. Our language service provider recommended that we "lock" key terms (for example, product marketing names) to prevent them from being accidentally translated. In a prior life, I worked as a tech writer in a structured environment and it was very easy to apply a "non-trans" tag to terms that needed them. I don't see an easy way to do this in Rise. Some research points to possible solutions such as manually going into the XLIF file after export and edit the tags in Notepad++ or Visual Studio. Wondering what others have done? Can Articulate Localization help with this? Thanks!

How would you lock a term without Articulate Localization?
Hi wallywallace,
What a great question!
You can still translate courses using XLIFF files, and manually make corrections after re-importing the text into your course. The glossary Luciana mentioned is specific to Localization, so if you're interested in learning more, here are some FAQs to check out. Please let me know if you have any questions!
