Inline Tag内联标记
An inline tag is a piece of formatting or placeholder markup embedded within a translatable segment, such as a variable, link marker, emphasis tag, or line-break code. In localization and translation tools, inline tags protect non-translatable content and preserve its position so that translators can move tags appropriately without breaking the underlying structure, output format, or final rendered text in the localized product.

Where this term appears
Translators encounter inline tags in CAT-tool editors, translation management systems, and source files from formats such as XLIFF, HTML, XML, or JSON. They must keep tags intact and place them correctly when word order changes between languages, while automated QA checks often compare tag count, order, and whitespace to detect broken markup.
Translation checks
The most common error is deleting an inline tag or placing it in the wrong position, especially when a term order changes. A missing or misplaced tag can cause formatting to bleed across sentences, variables to display incorrectly, or the final file to fail parsing, which breaks build or publication.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
