It seems that this is an issue specific to Chinese.

Is there a way to leave a note in Transifex to not to translate Pocket?

In Chinese a foreign product name is often translated in Chinese characters (for example Microsoft is called "微软"). Still in this case, according to this official page the name should not be translated.

Leaving the note would help for a while but not the perfect solution as the note can be overlooked or ignored.

Its an issue with many other languages not just Chinese. I see pocket is translated in Bengali and other languages as well

What can be done in browser-laptop to fix this problem?

@liunkae can we use a token like {{NAME}} in the middle of the string? For example:
Enable {{NAME}}

In browser-laptop, we'd have to do a manual string replace for this. But it would work nicely, IMO

Enable {{ExtentionName}} would be a global solution.
