## How to prevent a term being localized?
Any text within the backticks will not be translated.
For example, if the 'robots.txt' in string 'Requesting for robots.txt ...' should not be translated:
```javascript
// in example.js file
import * as i18n from '../i18n/i18n.js';
const UIStrings = {
/**
* @description Example description. Note: "robots.txt" is a canonical filename and should not be translated.
*/
requestMessage: 'Requesting for `robots.txt` ...',
};
const str_ = i18n.i18n.registerUIStrings('example.js', UIStrings);
const message = i18nString(UIStrings.requestMessage);
```
The string will rendered with robots.txt not translated and without the backticks around it
```javascript
'Requesting for robots.txt ...'
```
## What should not be localized?
In general, branding related terms and code snippets are the ones to look for, and Sometimes some technical terms. Some examples:
**Brandings:**
Lighthouse, GitHub, DevTools, Chrome Data Saver, Safari, BlackBerry Z30, Kindle Fire HDX, Pixel 2, Microsoft Lumia 550
**Code snippets:**
localhost:9229, console.clear(), --memlog=all, url:a.com
**Technical terms:**
DOM, DIV, aria...
