Research direction
Reproduce the issue by enabling auto translate for a room and sending a message containing a notranslate part such as @ user xy, using the Microsoft auto translate service if available. Trace the chat translation flow from the reproduced message and compare the displayed placeholder with the expected original text; done means the notranslate content remains visible.
