+ = Override translatability information if needed =
+ 
+ There are times where in a document instance the content of a given element or the value of a given attribute may need to a treated differently from the other same elements or attributes.
+ 
+ For example, by default attribute values are not translatable. If you XML format has a <pict> element that links to an image, and an attribute desc that hold a textual description of that image, the attribute value is translatable. Since this is generally true for all desc attributes in <pict> elements, this override of the default rule should be done in the schema or in a <documentRules> element. But there are exception in this case itself.
+ 
+ The same goes for element content: By default they are deemed translatable, but in some cases this rule need to be punctually overridden. Here the content of the <q> element must remain the same.
+ 
+ {{{<para>Québec's motto (<q>Je me souviens</q>) 
+ on the Parliament Building:
+  <pict ref="arms.png" desc="je me souviens"/>.
+ </para>}}}
+ 
+ === Use ITS in situ markup ===
+ 
+ You can override any translatability information by applying ITS in situ markup at the element level.
+ 
+ By default the translate attribute is applied to the content of the element where it is defined. To point to a specific location, within that content, where the property should be applied, you can use the translateSelector attribute.
+ 
+ {{{<para>Québec's motto (<q its:translate="no">Je me souviens</q>)
+ on the Parliament Building:
+  <pict ref="arms.png" its:translate="no" its:translateSelector="./@desc"
+ desc="Je me souviens"/>.</para>}}}
+ 
+ '''Note:''' For various reasons, using translatable attributes is strongly discouraged. This example is just an illustration of the translateSelector capability. See [:its0601TechAttrAndTrans:Attribute and Translatable Text] for more details on translation and attributes.
