Hello,
I have a batch of XML files xliff version="1.2".

Hello,

I have created an ini file to use in Trados 2007. However, I managed to lock only recognised elements such as body, source, file, etc. But I cannot lock such tags as p , a href=...,

I think I should add them manually. But adding them does not help - the tags are still editable.
I've also tried to change settings in Advanced settings for ini file. But nothing helps.
Please advise how to lock these tags.

As to Studio 2011 - the existing XML settings also does not help to lock all tags.

That will give you a list of all tags in that file type. Find the tag you would like to change in the list and double click.
In the window that opens, there is a section called "Properties" and an item in that section called "Translate". If ... See more
