I have the Google Translate widget on a client website and was looking for a way to prevent the translation from working on certain text on a page. In order to do this, I simply had to add the notranslate class to any element on the page that I don’t want to be translated by Google Translate widget.
For example, let’s say that I have an h2 tag called WPLauncher Amazing WordPress Hosting.
<h2>WPLauncher Amazing WordPress Hosting</h2>Since I would like to prevent translation of this element, I need to add the notranslate class to it, and it will look like the following:
<h2 class="notranslate">WPLauncher Amazing WordPress Hosting</h2>If I only wanted to block translation of one word in that h2 element, I could do that by adding a span with a notranslate class. For example, I only want to disable translation on my brand name, i.e. WPLauncher, and allow translation on the rest of the text. In this case, the element would look like this:
<h2><span class="notranslate">WPLauncher</span> Amazing WordPress Hosting</h2>That’s all she wrote! The Google Translate widget should now be blocked for any element that has the notranslate class.
