# How to exclude specific areas from translation?

Doclingo's **Regional Translation** feature allows you to exclude specific areas from translation, helping preserve original content such as logos, formulas, signatures, and stamps.
## 1. What Can Be Excluded?
You can exclude specific content, including:
* Company logos
* Mathematical formulas
* Handwritten signatures
* Stamps and image-based content
* Copyright notices
This feature is useful for invoices, contracts, scanned PDFs, and other documents containing content that should remain unchanged.

## 2. How to Use Regional Translation
### Step 1: Open Translation History
After completing your document translation, go to 
1. **Personal Center**

### Step 5: Choose the Exclusion Type

* **Ignore Images:** Exclude images only.
* **Ignore Text:** Exclude text only.
You can repeat this process to exclude multiple areas.
