-For localized content, you might want to exclude the entire file
+For localized content, you can disable spell checking of file contents while still checking the file name:
+```toml
+[type.po]
+extend-globs = ["*.po"]
+check-file = false
+```
+(run `typos --type-list` to see configured file types)
+
+If that doesn't catch the cases you can need, you can completely exclude some files from consideration:
 ```toml
 [files]
 extend-exclude = ["localized/*.po"]
