Mention tags that allow setting `translate="no"` #595

Closed bbhtt closed 4 months ago

Hi,

I looked through https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#sect-Metadata-GenericComponent and I can't find which tags support setting translate="no".

It's only mentioned in the code-block for keywords https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-keywords but I assume other translatable tags can have that too.

It'd be nice to have them mentioned somewhere in docs or at least mention that translate=no exists.

This isn't a feature of the AppStream XML directly, but rather of the ITS rules we provide. So I added a paragraph to the translation quickstart guide, with deals with ITS & Co. (otherwise people would be confused why translate="no" doesn't work if they happen to use some obscure system that doesn't honor our ITS rules).
