It depends on how far and how strict you want to be. But I think that in
this case, rule like

<rule context="*[starts-with(@class, 'translate')]">
  <assert test="@class = 'translateyes' or @class =
'translateno'">Translatability of content must be marked by
class="translateyes" or class="translateno".</assert>
</rule>

This example is just simplified, there could be more values in one
class, so @class should be tokenized before testing.
