Avoid translation of sample code fragments with Google Translate

[capicuadev]

The sample code fragments enclosed with <pre> tags are translated along with the rest of the document when using translation tools such as Google Translate.

Please, it's important to solve this for people whose languages ​​are not available in the documentation. It's easily solved by enclosing the code with a <code> tag in place or together with the <pre> tag. This would also give you correct semantics. If for some reason you do not want to use the <code> tag, the alternative option would be to use the class notranslate or skiptranslate on the <pre> tag, like this: <pre class="notranslate"> or <pre class="skiptranslate">. Both solutions work correctly, avoiding translation.

(Sorry for my english...)

@espagueti Sorry for the inconvenience. I admit that I didn't know about this limitation of pre with Google Translate, and agree that we should fix it. So we have at least two options:

• <code>: Correct semantics, may require additional styling
• <pre class="notranslate">: Minimal changes, "wrong" semantics

We'll need to consider as well, that comments in the code examples will not be translated.

@chrisvfritz @sdras WDYT?

Btw @espagueti your English is perfect :)

Thanks for the quick response.

I know, but it is preferable to the complete translation of the code. When it is translated, not only does it do it with words, but it also messes up the code, affecting the syntax and making it completely incomprehensible. You also have to keep in mind that there are not always comments.

Although the class notranslate is widely unknown, most of the documentation in other sites use the <code> tag, solving the problem (unfortunately not all use it).

Btw @espagueti your English is perfect :)

Thank you! :)

I'm sorry I had closed it by chance. Thanks for opening it again.
