RE: [Comment on ITS WD] Invert translate examples

Hi Richard, 

My bad: Update mistake.
Example 22 should be should be:
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/EX-translate-selector-1.xml
(We'll regenerate the HTML later)

Example 23:
Look better indeed.
Will update if no-one disagree.

Personal response:  

In example 22 Translatability expressed globally, you are still applying a yes setting to something that would be translatable
anyway!  Just change yes to no, and that example would look better, and make sense too - ie. don't translate code elements.


I never understood why 'motherboard' in example 23 should not be translated.
How about using this (real) example:

<p>Click Resume Button on Status Display or  
    <hardpanelmsg its:translate="no">CONTINUE</quote>
    Button on printer panel
    </p>
