There are also two other ways to cause a term not to be translated: 

1) Use an alternate spelling. For instance spell .Ewe with an é - Ewé will
not be translated.
2) For a software name like .MS.Word or OpenOffice.org .Writer, put the
names together. For example MSWord or OOoWriter. Otherwise, .Word will be
translated in French as "mot" and in Portuguese as "palabra."

A small amount of attention to the contents of the message will facilitate
its translation into other languages.
