'How to disable Google translate from HTML in Chrome

I just made a website for a french restaurant. The website is in english, but I guess there is enough french on the website (labeled pictures of menu items) to prompt the visitor to translate the website if using Chrome.

Is there something I can add to the html to prevent chrome from asking to translate the page? I'd assume it'd be something like <html lang="en"> but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

So for the ultimate solution I made;

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" class="notranslate" translate="no">
<head>
  <meta name="google" content="notranslate" />
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

This worked for me.

The meta tag in the <head> didn't work for me, but

class="notranslate"

added to a parent div (or even <body>) did work and allows more precise control of the content you don't want to be translated.

Solution:

<html lang="en" class="notranslate" translate="no">    <!-- All translators -->
 <head><meta name="google" content="notranslate" /> <!-- Just for google -->
</head>                                                <!-- Close head      -->

The more simple way is just adding the translate="no" proprety. This can be made in divs, text and more. Here's an example:

// Just for instructions
// Do not copy or paste
console.log("The first div don't alows translateing. But the second, alows it.")
console.log("Open the translator and see the efect.")
DIV1
<div translate="no">
  Try translating me!
  <b>Olá - Hello - Hola</b>
</div>
<hr> DIV2
<div translate="">
  Now, you can do it!
  <b>Olá - Hello - Hola</b>
</div>

Note that this example has some problems with the StackOverflow viewer.

Disable google translate on your website

Add this to your <head></head>:

<meta name="google" content="notranslate" />

Solution 5:[5]

FYI, if you want something that will work for all content in your site (including that which is not HTML), you can set the Content-Language header in your response (source) to the appropriate language, (in my case, en-US).

This has the benefit here is that it will "disable" the offer to translate the page for you (because it will know the source language correctly), but for other, non-native readers, they will still have the option to translate your site into their own language, and it will work correctly.

(Also for my use case, where Chrome was offering to translate well formatted JSON from latin to English, that BS goes away.)

Try this for ultimate solution:

<html lang="en" class="notranslate" translate="no">    <!-- All translators -->
 <head><meta name="google" content="notranslate" /> <!-- Just for google -->
</head>                                                <!-- Close head      -->

The more simple way is just adding the translate="no" proprety. This can be made in divs, text and more. Here's an example:

// Just for instructions
// Do not copy or paste
console.log("The first div don't alows translateing. But the second, alows it.")
console.log("Open the translator and see the efect.")
DIV1
<div translate="no">
  Try translating me!
  <b>Olá - Hello - Hola</b>
</div>
<hr> DIV2
<div translate="">
  Now, you can do it!
  <b>Olá - Hello - Hola</b>
</div>

My Windows is german in german.

I made the following experiences in Chrome: If I set

<html lang="en" translate="no">

Google Translate comes up with suggestion to translate english.

Definitely I have to omit the lang property. This works for me:

<html translate="no">

No popup is coming up and the translation icon in the URL field is no longer displayed.

sometimes you need to block not all html, but specific element, in such case you could add class="notranslate" only to that element. ie. <div class="notranslate"> some content </div>
