The variable org-export-with-special-strings controls the translation of horizontal ellipsis and dashes. Turn off that variable (e.g. through customize-variable) to avoid translations.

To apply this setting only to a file or subtree, use the - export option:

#+OPTIONS: -:nil

The affected translations are (as of orgmode 8.2.6):

 Org     HTML     LaTeX    UTF-8 
-----+----------+--------+-------
 \-    ­      \-             
 --    –    --         –   
 ---   —    ---        —   
 ...   …   \ldots     …
