How to Turn 100% of Segments into XU and Vice Versa in TagEditor - 1

You can turn 100% of segments into XU segments and vice versa even without TagEditor

It is a simple trick that can be done even without TagEditor.

To turn 100% of segments into XU segments (i.e., blocked protected segments) in a .ttx file, you need to make the following replacement:

<Tu MatchPercent="100">
to
<Tu MatchPercent="100" Origin="xtranslate">

To turn XU segments into 100% segments, you need to make the reverse replacement:

<Tu MatchPercent="100" Origin="xtranslate">
to
<Tu MatchPercent="100">

or (since the order of attributes in such strings is arbitrary):

<Tu Origin="xtranslate" MatchPercent="100">
to
<Tu MatchPercent="100">

Please note the a .ttx file can be edited as if it is a regular text file (.txt), directly in any text editor, for example, in Notepad.
