Translate text inside <b>...</b> brackets?

[BuddaBruda]

Should text in between brackets <b>like these</b> be translated?

I think no, it shouldn't be, but I'm not sure, so I'm asking here.

This is also stated in this forum post from 2021, which talks about brackets in general: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21795

I want confirmation if this is still true, since it's been more than 5 years

In this case the text should be translated, since the <b> and </b> delimiters normally indicate only that the text in between should be displayed as bold.

To be clear:
The text between the angle brackets < and > must not be translated.
But the text between the tags <b> and </b> should be translated.

In your example sentence („ Should text in between brackets <b>like these</b> be translated?“), you must not not translate „b“ and „/b“, but you should translate „like this“.

There is one other thing, you must not translate, and that are placeholders. The ${placeholder_name} should stay as is, because it will be replaced during the game with a value/text depending on the game situation (current number of points, name of a card, ..). It depends on the game implementation, how placeholders look like, but most games use dollar and curly brackets for placeholder names and placeholder names must not get translated, otherwise they could not get replaced by current values.
