We have generally been using comments like // Not L10N to mark strings that we do not want to localize. We need to formalize this in our build, so that we are scanning the source directories the build the project UI, and not the test directories (which we should probably remove all "Not L10N" usage from). And we should fail the build when we encounter these.

We will need to add some form of block comment too for places where we have a lot of strings and putting // Not L10N on every line would be cumbersome.

// Start not L10N

[...lots of strings...]

// End not L10N

Or something like that.
