If you want to configure custom variable rules and you do not find an already existing template that is applicable to the same customer and/or file type, you need to create a template first.
Tip
This module requires some prior knowledge of Regular Expressions ("regex").
You can use custom variables to select a specific sequence of characters using regular expressions. This string can be converted into an inline tag to protect it during translation. In XTM Workbench, it serves as a placeholder that can be moved by Linguists within the target segment. Regular expressions are extremely powerful when it comes to defining a sequence of characters, including special characters. XTM Cloud uses Java Regular Expressions.
