Company Name and Brands - protect from translation #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The Company names and Brands contains the meaningful words. 
for example a company name could be:

Moon Marble Exports, 

A brand could be : Marble Orbit

but when language translation is done. these names also get changed to the 
asked language.

If js could have a area where user can define certain terms, which will not be 
changed.

Thanks for suggesting this feature.

It's a good idea, though it would be hard to implement in the current script. 

One alternative could be to make it possible to override the standard 
Destination Language for specified elements within the script. On pages on your 
site, you could then surround all instances of your company name etc with 
<span> tags - e.g.

<span class="company">Moon Marble Exports</span>

Then the script could allow you to specify that elements of this class should 
be translated into English - i.e. the same as the source language. As a result, 
the names would not be translated.

Such a feature might be more flexible, and would also be far easier to 
implement. How does that sound?
