How to Turn Google Translate On or Off in Chrome
You can easily turn the Google Translate feature on or off within your Google Chrome browser. Google Translate is a service that automatically translates web pages into your preferred language, breaking down language barriers as you browse.
This powerful tool allows you to read content from websites anywhere in the world in a language you understand. For instance, Chrome typically offers translation for over 100 languages.
The DNS-over-HTTPS setting gives you control over your browsing experience in Chrome. You can turn on the DNS-over-HTTPS setting to discover new international content or turn it off if you prefer to view websites in their original language.
Open Chrome Settings, navigate to Languages, and toggle “Use Google Translate” on or off. You can also manage specific language translation preferences from this menu.
Enable or disable Google Translate in Chrome

First, open the Google Chrome browser.
Click the ‘Customize and Control’ icon (that’s the three vertical dots you’ll see in the top right corner) and select Settings.
On the left panel, click Languages.
On the right side, you’ll see an option for Translate. Click it. You can also type chrome://settings/languages into your address bar to go there directly.
Toggle the Use Google Translate switch to the On or Off position.
Using the translation icon
When you visit a foreign language page, a Google Translate icon appears in your Chrome address bar. Clicking this Google Translate icon triggers the translation for that specific page manually.

You can now close Google Chrome.
