There is a few items slipping in the translations, that might actually not 
worth having, like:
 - names of icons, inside "string" xml elements
 - names of objects, like "ir.attachment", which may 50% worth translating 
into "Documents" and 50% really make sense to leave the technical name so that 
the admin knows it is "ir.attachment", not any other object.
 - strings of parent classes, like the "invalid xml for view architecture"
 (fill the list of others here)

But, after a closer inspection, the cost of hacking the translation engines to 
recognize and exclude those strings may be rather high.

In the sake of keeping the translation engine simple and symmetric, I would 
seriously consider ignoring these issues and just telling translators to act 
as if those strings are not there.
That's my humble opinion/suggestion.
