<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>
<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:
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>
And it extracts like this:
So seems to work for me anyway.

I used this test file:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span data-condition="condition_1">Don’t translate condition 1</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="condition_2">Don’t translate condition 2</span></p> <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span>Do me too</span></p> <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span data-condition="condition_3">Don’t translate condition 3</span></p> <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span>And don’t forget me</span></p> <p class="Numbered" dir="ltr">Click to place the object in the drawing.<span data-condition="condition_4">Condition 4 or any other condition is just fine for translation</span></p> </body> </html>
First I tried this which I believe should work as it is valid xpath 1.0:
span[@data-condition="condition_1" or @data-condition="condition_2" or @data-condition="condition_3"]
But it doesn't. So I did this instead:
Just duplicate the rule we created first and use whatever attribute values you need. Gave me this:
