Specifying DNT Entities
STPM provides several Do Not Translate (DNT) commands in the Tools menu and
right-click menu that let you designate DNT entities. When you specify an entity as
DNT, STPM omits that area from being translated until you remove the DNT
designation.
The DNT entities you can specify are:
• Set Expression DNT — a sequence of words (part of a sentence) that is not to
be translated. The software’s sentence-analysis capabilities consider the
sequence as a single entity and part of the sentence. Typically, proper nouns,
such as company names, can be set as DNT expression.
• Set Paragraph DNT — specifies part of a document that is not to be translated.
The full area is omitted from the translation process and is not taken into
account by the translation. Typically, document headers and addresses are set
as DNT paragraph.
• Set Insertion DNT — identifies a sequence of words as an insertion within a
complete sentence that is not to be translated. Text to the left and right of the
sequence is considered one sentence. Typically, bracketed comments and
acronyms are set as DNT insertion.
After you mark DNT areas and translate the document, you can use the Search and
Highlight window to locate the DNT expressions, paragraphs, and insertions
(see Searching and Highlighting on page 76).
To specify DNT entities:
1. In the source or target document, click the items you want to designate as
DNT.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
 On the Tools menu, click Set Expression DNT, Set Paragraph DNT,
or Set
Insertion DNT.
 Press the right mouse button and click Set Expression DNT, Set
Paragraph DNT, or Set Insertion DNT.
To remove a DNT designation from an entity:
3. Click the entity whose DNT designation you want to remove.
You can use the Do Not Translate options in the Search and Highlight window to
identify all DNT blocks, as well as expression, paragraph, and insertion DNTs
(see Searching and Highlighting on page 76).
