I thought this would already be a widget but as it’s not, I am requesting it to be one.

Hi @StephenC, I’m so sorry for such a late reply 
Thanks a lot for sharing your idea! Right now I’m inclined to think that your suggestion goes a bit beyond what we do, as we’re focused on more simple solutions you can add to your website.
However, could you please provide some more details on what exactly you need this widget to do? It will help me understand your idea and your use case better 
Hi Helga, thank you for your reply on this. Our company name is Oxigen and when I use the translation widget, it changes this to Oxygen. So our company name is misrepresented for visitors who use the widget on our site (https://oxigen.ie) . I think you will agree that this is simply not the way for a business to showcase an otherwise fantastic translation tool.
Even when I added the English widget, it is misrepresented and displays as Oxygen. I needed to add the English language as well as others like Lithuanian, as it was the only way I could see to return the visitor from say Lithuanian as pressing the back button just did not work. So if an English speaking visitor tried out the translation widget, they could not return to the native website language.
I did use the class name exclusion option but it meant that a lot of my website was not translated - not ideal.
So for now I have a paid-for widget that I currently cannot use on my site (it is deactivated). I believe the ability to add custom words that simply would not be translated would be a game-changer for your otherwise fantastic translation widget.
Regards,
Stephen Cowley

Oh, I see it now, thanks a lot for the detailed reply, Stephen!
So the issue is that you need to keep only one specific word untranslated, but its class name is not unique.
Although we really don’t have a direct solution at the moment, I believe we can help you resolve it with the help of a JS code. @Max, do you think we can customize it so that only the word “Oxigen” stays as is?
Sure!
@StephenC, you should add a span class for the Oxigen. Here is how it should look: <span class="any-class">Oxigen</span>
You can replace any-class with the custom class you’d like to use. And after that, please add the class you’ve chosen to the Translation Exclusions in your widget’s settings.
