Specify that some elements should not be translated:
<p translate="no">Don't
translate this!</p>
<p>This
can be translated to any language.</p>
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.
