How to change the automatic translator settings?

There are several ways you can  change your Google Chrome automatic translator settings , regardless of the platform you’re using. This procedure is fairly straightforward. However, it won’t be linked to your Google account, so if you disabled your translator on the PC version, you’ll need to do so again on your iOS or Android device.

Before starting, it is necessary to know which version of Google Chrome is installed on your device (PC, Android or iOS) since older versions of the browser do not allow access to certain configuration options, so it is essential that you have the  latest version of Google Chrome . That said, below we will explain the process to disable automatic translation on any Chrome platform:

On a web page

If you’re using the desktop version of Google Chrome (on both MacOS and Windows) and are asked if you want to automatically translate a page into the language your operating system uses when you visit a page  , you have two options to change the settings:

1. Via tab: The tab that will ask you if you want to automatically translate pages allows you to choose the language you want to translate the website to and at the bottom you can press the box ‘Always translate from *language*’ for example ‘Always translate from English’ or remove it to change this setting, if you click on the three dots button in the corner of this tab you will be able to access more advanced settings that we will cover in the next step.
2. Via Chrome settings: If you’re not waiting to be on a website in another language to  change the translator settingsvia the tab, you can do so via the program’s settings:

• • Open your Google Chrome program, then go to the top right corner and press the button with three dots to open the options menu, there choose ‘Settings’ to enter a new tab
  • Within ‘Settings’ go to ‘Advanced settings’ and then ‘Languages’ There you can disable the option ‘ Translate languages ​​I can’t read‘ (which will be those that you have not set as your primary or secondary language, as well. In this tab you can add the languages ​​you speak by entering them in the ‘Never translate from’ section you can also change Chrome’s default language.

Inside an Android device

The process to  disable Google Chrome’s automatic translator on Android is even simpler than on a computer, however, the languages ​​must be configured individually. Remember to have the latest version of the app installed or update Google Chrome on your phone if you don’t have one. You’ll need to:

1. Open your Google Chrome browser application
2. Within it, click on the search bar located at the top of the screen and enter a page that is in a language other than the one specified on your phone, for example, a page in English if your default language is Spanish.
3. Once you have accessed the page, you will be asked if you want to translate the page. You can choose ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, as well as check the box ‘Always automatically translate from’ or ‘Never translate from’ followed by the name of the language. You can configure these options to your liking, and they will always remain that way unless you change them using the next step.
4. Press ‘Settings’ represented by the icon of three vertical buttons at the top right of the screen, in the menu that opens press ‘Languages’
5. Then press ‘Translation settings’ and finally check or uncheck the box ‘Show the option to send pages in other languages ​​to Google Translate’ to activate or deactivate automatic translation.

From the iPhone or iPad app

If you are using an iOS device, be it iPhone or iPad, the procedure will be exactly the same, just remember to keep the app updated to its latest version. That said, you will need to:

1. Sign in to your Google Chrome app for iOS
2. Go to a website in another language
3. At the bottom, choose the language you want to translate the page into or select the gear icon to access Google Chrome settings.
4. Click on ‘Content Settings’ and then ‘Google Translate’
5. Uncheck the ‘Google Translate’ box to turn it and its features off completely (this process is reversible)

How to avoid the question ‘if you want to translate pages’?

If you don’t want to see the “Do you want to translate this website?” question again when using your Google Chrome browser, follow the steps below (on any platform):

1. Log in to your Google Chrome program or app
2. Click the ‘More’ button represented by three vertical buttons in the upper right corner
3. Choose the ‘Advanced Settings’ and ‘Languages’ options
4. Then ‘Translator’ and there uncheck the box ‘Automatically translate a web page into another language’ and then ‘Ask me if I want to translate a web page’

After doing this, you’ll be able to access a website in any language without the translate tab being displayed.
