Description

index.template.html fails validation in the W3C's markup validation service.

Steps to Reproduce
1. upload index.template.html to http://validator.w3.org/
2. validate

Expected Behavior
1 error (character "$" is not allowed)
this error can be ignored, because template tokens like ${application} will be replaced during compilation and the final html file will be valid

Actual Behavior
4 errors

Line 31, 2 errors:
<meta name="google" value="notranslate" />

While there are Google resources (https://support.google.com/translate/#2641276) which state that you should use this meta tag, there are also resources which use the valid "content" attribute instead of the invalid "value" attribute: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en

document.write(...
