Exclusion list

Good idea... does upstream, for example, Google Translate, have special strings which always translate to themselves?

Q: How do I tell Google Translation API to NOT translate something?

A: You can use the following HTML tags:

        <span translate="no"> </span>
        <span class="notranslate"> </span>

    This functionality requires the source text to be submitted in HTML.

Then downstream, we could use have an exclusion list used to s/exclude1/SPECIAL1/ with respect to the input, then reverse the substitutions from the upstream output.

Exclude by regular expression(s)

Pre-filter the input, find matches to regex, then add them to a temporary exclusion list, apply exclusion list routine.
