Hello!  

It sounds like you're looking for a way to display text flagged as "do not translate" in the Trados Studio Editor to provide your translators with the necessary context. Here are some steps you can take to achieve this:

**Step 1:** Modify Edit Rule Settings  

- In your custom file type settings, navigate to the "Edit Rule" dialog. You may want to adjust the settings for the "do not translate" texts. Instead of setting them to "No" for translation, consider setting them to "Yes" but with a visual indication (like a different color or style) to show they are not meant to be translated.

**Step 2:** Use the "ShowElementContent" Setting  

- You mentioned the "ShowElementContent" setting in the advanced settings of the parser rules. This setting can help display the content of elements that are typically hidden. You will need to specify the correct parameters for "Name," "Code," and "Description." If you're unsure what to set, you might want to refer to the documentation for your specific file type or experiment with different values to see what works.

**Step 3:** Test with a Sample File  

- After making changes to the edit rules, test with a sample file to see if the "do not translate" texts are now visible in the Editor. This will help you confirm whether the adjustments have the desired effect.

**Step 4:** Consider Using Comments or Annotations  

- If displaying the "do not translate" texts directly is not feasible, consider adding comments or annotations in the segments that provide context for the translators. This way, they can still see the relevant information without altering the translation status of those segments.

**Step 5:** Review Documentation and Community Resources  

- If you continue to have trouble, reviewing the Trados Studio documentation or community resources may provide additional insights or examples of similar configurations.

By following these steps, you should be able to enhance the visibility of the context for your translators while keeping the integrity of the "do not translate" texts intact.
