There is no text run property for specifying whether given piece of text should be translated during localization process. This functionality is very important in environments where texts are routinely translated to many other languages, for example in EU.
Add new property for specifying whether given run of text should be translated during document localization. Proposed mechanism should be compatible with ITS markup (http://www.w3.org/TR/its/).

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment CZ-0057 (Modified: 2007-12-20) It is possible to leverage ITS (Internationalization Tag Set) natively within an Office Open XML document, without the need to mimic it in the WordprocessingML schema. This can be accomplished through the custom XML markup capabilities provided in Office Open XML. For example, consider the following simple WordprocessingML document: <w:document xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"> <w:body> <w:p> <w:r> <w:t xml:space="preserve">Here is a paragraph that </w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:u/> </w:rPr> <w:t>can be localized</w:t> </w:r> </w:p> <w:p> <w:r> <w:t xml:space="preserve">This paragraph </w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:b/> <w:i/> </w:rPr> <w:t>cannot.</w:t> </w:r> </w:p> </w:body> </w:document> In this example, the contents of the first paragraph should be localized and the contents of the second conversely should not. The constructs defined by ITS could then be included in the document leveraging the custom markup support defined by the Standard: <w:document xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main" xmlns:its="http://www.w3.org/2005/11/its" mc:ignorable="its" > <its:rules> <its:translateRule selector="//w:p" translate="yes"/> </its:rules> <w:body> <w:p> <w:r> <w:t xml:space="preserve">Here is a paragraph that </w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:u/> </w:rPr> <w:t>can be localized</w:t> </w:r> </w:p> <w:p its:translate="no" > <w:r> <w:t xml:space="preserve">This paragraph </w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:b/> <w:i/> </w:rPr> <w:t>cannot.</w:t> </w:r> </w:p> </w:body> </w:document>
