Lock strings (mark as non-translatable)

Resource files in the workspace sometimes contain strings that should not be translated.

Locked strings have the following characteristics:

Developers and project managers can lock and unlock strings in the project's Texts section. For details, see the Strings in context section.

To lock a string, perform the following steps:

  1. In the project menu, select Context > Texts.

  2. Find the string you want to lock.

  3. Hover over it and click the Lock.png icon.

A lock or unlock action is applied to strings immediately. When a string is locked, Rigi keeps its current translation, status, and history. As a result, this information will be restored when the string is unlocked later.
