Just found a “new” option in resource settings.

 ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-12-30 um 18.56.08](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/e/e286920db0c169e3ed0b2fce20287f1372786e90.png)

AFAIU the current settings allows only to “lock” a complete resource, or?

Is there a way to block translations for a specific language of a resource.

Cheers and a good slide.

Hello @rakekniven,

Thank you for sharing your question, in our community.

According to your question, the answer is yes, you can prevent certain strings of a resource to be translated. More information you can find under our documentation page here: [https://docs.transifex.com/projects/preventing-resource-edits#locking-strings](https://docs.transifex.com/projects/preventing-resource-edits#locking-strings)  
Please let me know if you have further inquiries on this.

Kind regards,  
Panagiotis

Hello @Panagiotis_Kavrakis,

thank you for your answer and sorry for not being precise enough.

I want to block a complete resource for a single language.

I don’t want to block a resource for all project language and a don’t want to block single strings.

Best regards

Hello @rakekniven,

Thank you for your reply.  
According to this need, you can use the tag “locked\_lang\_code” which can be applied to all strings of a single resource. You can find this tag under the same link I mentioned before.

Please let me know if that answers your question.
