I have a 500 page Word document where around 10 % of the text is highlighted in yellow. I want to translate the highlighted text i Studio but leave the rest untouched. The highlighted parts appear here an there throughout the document. Is there a practical solution for this?

Yes there is an easy way forward.
In MS Word open your "Advanced Find and Replace"
You want to:
1. Find all highlighted text
2. Repeat the step so that your command is saying" Find all things NOT Highlighted"
2. By replace field, select Format and Font then enable Hidden as seen below
In summary what you then have is: Fine all content NOT highlighted and replace it with hidden
If you then complete your replace all command, you will only be left with highlighted text. This is what Studio will process on the basis that hidden text in native documents are never processed
However if you wish to see the hidden text in the native document, you can adjust your MS Word display settings under File - Options - Display and enable hidden text.
As you see in MS Word its clear what is hidden or not, by looking at the .... underlines
When you are done with your translation, use the find/replace in MS Word to find all hidden text and replace with unhide
Enjoy
