How to tell LangShop to ignore certain files/snippets

Lunaris

LangShop seems to be translating certain snippets I created upon the publish action which I do not want to be translated.

Is there a way to tell the LangShop application to ignore certain files within the theme?

Dear Lunaris,

Thanks for your inquiry. It is not really clear what you mean by not translating files within the theme. Do you have some static text in some of your theme's snippets and want to prevent Langshop from translating it?

This issue needs an individual approach for the resolution. Please write to our Support team at support@langshop.app or contact us via 24/7 Live Chat.

I've got a liquid snippet similar to this:

{%- assign value = 100 -%}

data-opts="{&quot;value&quot;: {{ value  }}}"

And render that snippet like:

<span class="{{ class }}" {% render 'snippet' %}>

Expected result:

<span class="hello" data-opts="...">

Now the issue is LangShop is translating the HTML attribute data-opts and the result becomes something like this:

<span class="hello" <ls-key>...</lskey>>

This obviously breaking the HTML structure.

So my question is, can I tell LangShop to ignore this snippet (or certain files) as I don't want it to be translated ever.

Hi Lunaris,

Thanks for these details. The only <ls-key> type of tag that Langshop could be adding is <ls-static>.
To prevent this action please edit the snippet to have {% raw %}....{% endraw %} tag instead of <ls-static-...></ls-static-...>. This will ensure Langshop will not tag content as translatable.

I hope this info helps. If there's still a problem, let me know. I'll check for an alternative.

Best wishes,
Taras.

Putting the snippet within {% raw %} tags does indeed seem to work! Would still love to see a feature to exclude certain snippets by their file names from translation.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Lunaris,

I'm glad the solution helped. I'll send in a feature request to our development team to add a possibility of excluding certain files from being scanned for static texts by Langshop.

Thanks for your cooperation.
