@@ -54,6 +54,17 @@ For example, one may want to also translate `data-title` attributes. To do that,
 we can define additional attributes with the `translatableAttributes` option:
 
 ```js
-const app = new App(Root, { templates, tranaslateFn, translatalbeAttributes: ["data-title"] });
+const app = new App(Root, { templates, tranaslateFn, translatableAttributes: ["data-title"] });
 // ...
 ```
+
+It is also possible to remove an attribute from the default list by prefixing it with `-`:
+
+```js
+const app = new App(Root, {
+  templates,
+  tranaslateFn,
+  translatableAttributes: ["data-title", "-title"],
+});
+// data-title attribute will be translated, but not title attribute...
+```
