AutoTrans includes a powerful exclusion system to prevent unwanted content from being sent to the DeepL API.

Why Exclusion Filtering Is Important

Many translation projects contain content that should not be translated, such as placeholders, numbers, or technical values.
Exclusion filtering ensures only meaningful text is processed.

Supported Exclusion Rules

AutoTrans can exclude:

• Empty or whitespace-only strings
• Single characters
• Numeric values
• Percentages
• Punctuation-only or symbol-only strings
• Exact token matches (for example n/a, null, -)
• Custom regular expressions

Global and Project-Specific Rules

• Global rules apply to all projects
• Project-specific rules override global rules for a single project

This allows precise control across different translation workflows.
