HTML translate Attribute


Definition and Usage

The translate attribute specifies whether the content of an element should be translated or not.

Test: Use the Google translate box (at the top of the page) to change to another language, and look what happens to the word "ice cream" below:

Here we use translate="no": ice cream.

Here we use class="notranslate": ice cream.

Tip: Use class="notranslate" instead.
