Create a set of regular expressions to filter the source segments directly after import of the source document. Scan the filtered segments for non-translatables.


With the option Extract reg. exp. results you can collect candidates for non-translatables. Once you have collected them, you can tag them as regular expressions and save them in a glossary for non-translatables. These won't be send to the MT system (when Edit > Preferences > Mask non-translatable fragments option is selected).

The tagged items (real regular expressions now):

Due to a glitch, not all non-translatables will be displayed in the glossary pane (they will be recognised, though):

Masked non-translatables won't be send to the MT systems:
