Some of my clients send me color-coded files for translation. I can understand that these translations are for websites and the aim is to signify the type of text + NOT pay for repetitions. The problem for me is that I can't charge for repetitions or their repetitive notes. However, I do not know how to filter out the text based on highlights. I would like to filter it out at the start of the project, copy source to target, and lock these sections. The Community Advanced Display filter allow text to be filtered by color, but not based on highlight color as much as I understand. I also tried to display all tags and filter "highlight=cyan", but the problem is that only a small part of the highlighted text is filtered as tags are only displayed when there are different text styles in one segment.
Any ides how I can work with such projects more efficiently? I can't be the only translator receiving these files...
The instructions can be something like this:
DO NOT TRANSLATE:
RED TEXT (Link to gallery)
YELLOW highlight TEXT Hero Carousel x3
Text, marked in blue like this: Asset: X745460_20MIY__Desktop_v2_1600x900.jpg
TRANSLATE:
All black text: TITLE: X – car type – Buy now (country)
BLUE text like this: EXPLORE EXTERIOR
Green text like this: Offer
