How to set html parser rule to translate or NOT translate text in span elements based on the value of an attribute (data-condition)? The html code is generated by RoboHelp. [Conditional text]

GEORGES KLEINBERG

<p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span data-condition="VW:Comment"> [Test of conditional text for translation.]</span></p>

    Maybe something like this as your condition:

    span[@data-condition="VW:Comment"]

    Then set it as non-translatable:

    Trados Studio Edit Rule window showing a rule setup with condition span@data-condition='VW:Comment' and properties set to non-translatable.

    I created this file to test:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span data-condition="VW:Comment">Don’t translate me</span></p>
    <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span>Translate me</span></p>
    <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span data-condition="VW:Comment">Don’t translate me either</span></p>
    <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span>Do me too</span></p>
    </body>
    </html>
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    And it extracts like this:

    Trados Studio preview pane displaying extracted text from an HTML file with specific spans marked as 'Don t translate me' set as non-translatable.

    So seems to work for me anyway.

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for your prompt reply to my post. I had gone that far and wasn't clear in my question.

    What I'm trying to configure are multiple conditions for the same attribute with different conditions values.

    For example:

    data-condition="condition_1" then DO NOT TRANSLATE

    data-condition="condition_2" then DO NOT TRANSLATE

    data-condition="condition-3" then DO NOT TRANSLATE

    ELSE TRANSLATE 

    Thanks

    Why don't you provide a sample file with just the bits you need?  Asking a question like this and expecting someone else to do all the work may prevent you getting a timely response.
