FW: [TW] Custom type of placeables

Question for Yves;

Not sure if this issue is something addressable by your localizability
tagging concept, but thought I'd pass it along in case it's an unusual
case.

Subject: [TW] Custom type of placeables


I was wondering..
Could I possibly define a custom type of placeable?

A huge percent of my work is technical manuals, which have endless
references to machine buttons and messages, and they're all between
[square
brackets]. All these strings have to remain untranslated and I keep
copying
and pasting them from the source segment. If they were marked as
placeables,
this would be happening automatically and I would certainly have a much
larger ratio of 100% matches.
Can I do that somehow or am I asking too much from TW?

Please note that I cannot use the Search & Replace function to apply the
tw4wininternal (or-external) style because then the S-Tagger won't let
me
convert the file back to FrameMaker.

MTIA,
