It's not properly registered. The "Google documentation" hyperlink there
goes to http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.nz/2012_05_01_archive.html,
which is a blog posting, not a spec. And that blog posting doesn't actually
even mention "google-translate-customization" at all, as far as I can see.

The HTML spec is the official, original, spec. And it formally references
the WHATWG wiki page.

In this case, the "google-translate-customization" is intentionally not
supported, because it's not properly registered. If somebody cares to take
the time to properly register it by linking to an actual specification that
defines what it means, that'd be great.
