# QT_EXCLUDE_SOURCES_FROM_TRANSLATION

This property was introduced in Qt 6.7.

This target property specifies a list of source file paths that are excluded from translation. Source files that match the patterns in this exclusion list are ignored by `lupdate`.

The paths may be absolute or relative to `CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`. The paths may contain wildcards in a format that is accepted by QRegularExpression::wildcardToRegularExpression.

     qt_add_executable(myapp
         main.cpp
         untranslatable.cpp
         3rdparty/sqlite3.h
         3rdparty/sqlite3.c
     )
     set_property(TARGET myapp PROPERTY QT_EXCLUDE_SOURCES_FROM_TRANSLATION
         untranslatable.cpp
         3rdparty/*
     )
