Translation issue at https://chaoss.community/chaosscon-2025-eu/

[neuhaus]

When browsing the website in German, on the page https://chaoss.community/chaosscon-2025-eu/ the name "Peculiar C Umeh" gets translated, which it obviously shouldn't.

@neuhaus @adityajha2005 thanks for bringing this up! We are using a Google Translate plug-in but I think we have the ability to make changes to the dictionary from which it pulls. I will take a look at this.

Also tagging @stzn - we were just talking about some issues with the Japanese translation that they would like to help fix 😁

@geekygirldawn asked me about this, and I found a link for fixing the encoding in the case of Precious' name: https://docs.gtranslate.io/en/articles/1349930-how-to-skip-translations

1. Skip translation using "notranslate" class

Note: This method works both for free and paid versions of GTranslate, whereas other methods described below are available only for our paid versions.
​
In order to prevent the translation of certain parts of your website, you can use class="notranslate" attribute for any HTML element. 

For example:

<span class="notranslate">this text will not be translated</span>

Another example for page content:

<div class="notranslate">
    <p>This paragraph will not be translated</p>
    <div>The content of this block will not be translated</div>
</div>
