This is not Word... it's a tool to handle the translation of DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, XML, HTML, IDML, MIF, RESX, etc. etc.

But I agree that a neat solution would be to do a search & Replace of tags since this is essentially what we are dealing with.  What they do is completely irrelevant and sometimes inappropriate when people think of them as formatting tags.  I suggest you raise an enhancement request for it in the ideas site.

In the meantime you could try using a tool like Cleanup Tags which could be used to do a batch search & replace of words with surrounding tags, and you could make the tags match the formatting style of the file you were translating.

Thank you, I will give it a try.

In the meantime, let me explain what I was trying to achieve. Sometimes I need to clearly indicate that my abbreviations or tags contain Cyrillic letters instead of Latin letters. To achieve this, I intentionally keep the Cyrillic letters in my target English text and make them italicized so that the reader can easily distinguish between АВС (авс) and ABC (abc), even though they look exactly the same.
