Prevent certain words from being translated

Hello I am using the bing translation api. Sometimes there are words I'd like to prevent from being translated because it is a company name, etc.

For example I'd like to prevent translation of the words "the north face". Is this possible to do?

The answer from Swetha Machanavajhala is a good start however you also need to include textType=html in your API call query parameter to ensure all other tag attributes are ignored and not translated. Also it's better to use <span> to avoid breaking up the translation into multiple sentences (and thereby losing context).
