I have an extension (a skin, actually, but functionally it's exactly the same) which makes use of system messages to allow administrators to add extra content to some areas of wiki pages. So by default the messages are empty, and should never be translated.
If your extension/skin is translated at translatewiki.net, you can submit a patch against [1]. It has examples of that (search for ignored). If you are talking about translating somewhere else, it depends how you have configured the message group.

Thanks for the information. I am not particularly knowledgable about how translatewiki.net works, so I didn't realise that mediawiki-defines.txt file worked for extensions there too. It should do exactly what I need, thanks a lot for the prompt reply.
