It’s been a while since I’ve made a request to improve the translator plugin, which works very well in my community. We have again come across a longstanding issue again today, which is that the name of our organization translates from portuguese to english into a random different word - see screenshot. We also have other terms that are particular to our space that we translate in a particular way, or that we do not want to translate at all.

I don’t know if it would be possible to have e.g. an admin setting containing a comma separated list of words to never translate? Or even better, a glossary containing preferred translations for certain words in certain languages. As a last resort, the ability to edit translations to correct errors like the screenshot would be massively appreciated.
