I don’t think Images would work because, as I mentioned before, the Translation Memory being used requires that the programming text must be Locked.

The only way you need locked text is if someone is going to copy it as text and paste elsewhere. I am not arguing, just pointing this out. I do not know your translation protocol. Personally, I would hate a bunch of images.


Even if you do not have a reliable macro to find all of your text that you want locked, you would be able to have a macro that would do the placement in a locked content control easily. That could be attached to a keyboard shortcut. Not as easy as something you just run once, but still an improvement.


Again, make sure that the locked content control will meet your needs before you spend time on macros to create them. If this works, it would be a lot less labor intensive than making and importing image files.
