Here are some examples of it:

[UIScript:setBustshotDialog(10414,0);]Setelah datang di Keplan, suasana hatiku semakin baik setelah sekian lama!

Is there anyway to ignore the text between [], and symbols? ▲ Collapse

Convert to Word and back Apr 25, 2018

You could open the .txt file in Word, use Find & Replace to hide all text between [] and the symbols you want to ignore, and save as a .docx, then translate the Word document. When finished, use Find & Replace to unhide all the hidden text and save as .txt again.

Ignore untranslatable text Apr 27, 2018

A better solution would be to write a regular expression to tag such text as being untranslatable.

Project Settings → File Types → Text → Inline tags
Add rule → Rule Type → Tag pair

Where the "Tag pair" is a regex that describes the untranslatable text.
After exporting the translated text, the tags are restored to the original text.
