translate (attribute)

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The translate global attribute is an enumerated attribute that is used to specify whether an element's translateable attribute values and its Text node children should be translated when the page is localized, or whether to leave them unchanged. It can have the following values:

  • empty string or "yes", which indicates that the element should be translated when the page is localized.
  • "no", which indicates that the element must not be translated.

While browser support for this attribute is currently nonexistent, automatic translation services support it.
