There is a section of export regulations shown at the bottom of the
fedoraproject.org/get-fedora page. Currently it's not set up to be
translatable. Is this on purpose? Can I let the translators know they
shouldn't worry about translating this content?

Yes, this is intentional. That is legal text, and cannot be translated
like the rest of the website (the translation might not end up
appropriate or binding).

As I suspected -- thanks for confirming this Spot!

Not picking on the .de team (I
saw this originally w/ another
translations) but, I'd assume that this also applies to the copyright
message at the bottom of the page, i.e.:

I'm assuming the main bit is the copyright year, and the text "and
others" that are the most important, but just thought I'd mention it.

No, this is actually fine, as stating the copyright like that isn't
strictly "legal text", nor is it a requirement (we don't suddenly lose
copyright on the work if this statement is missing). It is informational
in nature, and the translation of "and others" is not likely to grow
some meaning that we do not intend.

Is it acceptable to translate the string but provide link to the
original English content ? Having a chunk of translated text and then
an untranslated piece of legal contract does demand that the reader
understand the terms of the English piece while reading the rest in
the local language.
