I just see the danger that <p>Click the Resume button on the Status Display or the <span class="panelmsg" translate="no">CONTINUE</span> button on the printer panel.</p> would become <p>Klicken Sie auf Fortsetzen in der Statusanzeige oder die Taste <span class="panelmsg" translate="no">CONTINUE</span> auf Ihrem Drucker.</p> in translation with no language information for CONTINUE. If it was <span class="panelmsg" translate="no" lang="en">CONTINUE</span> already in the original, localizers or tools would keep the language information. I don’t have any data to back-up my fears, though. Do some of you? Gunnar
