Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

• Consider whether disabling translation at the <html> level is too broad for your use case; if some parts of the app should remain translatable, you may want to scope translate="no" to specific containers instead.
• Since this change targets Google’s auto-translate specifically, evaluate whether similar meta or attributes are needed for other major translation providers if cross-browser behavior is important.
