and produces a server error
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=104703

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a HTML5 web page that has french names or text seemingly french.
2. Add a <meta> google notranslate tag in the header.

page but produce a server error.
What is the expected result?
Completely ignore text translation.
What happens instead?
It tries to translate the page and fails.

It seems this is translate service error instead of Chrome browser, e.g.
Gmail and GDocs have meta/google/notranslate.
If you still see errors, please provide URI.
Thanks in advance.
Still getting issues, and have tried multiple methods. In addition to
notranslate <meta> I've also added a class="notranslate" to multiple
sections including the <body> tag.
I wish I could attach a screenshot but this screen holds some private data
and is not a public page. I'll create a bigger problem. ;)
My initial hunch is this is possibly related to the page developed in
HTML5. I'll attach a screenshot of page source with meta tags.
Thanks for looking into this.

P.S. Upgraded Chrome from 15 to 16.0.912.63 m
P.S. Upgraded Chrome from 15 to 16.0.912.63 m and still seeing same issue.
Did a quick test in Chrome 18.0.995.0 canary it does appear that the bug is
resolved in that version. Not sure what difference it makes but I'll leave
that info to Chromium devs.
