Prevent Website from being automatically translated by browsers

[ad_1]

My website is created 100% in English, and I just had a client telling me that my website is full of mistakes in Spanish…

Well, dude, I never translated it to Spanish…

What he saw was the automatic translation from Google Chrome, and as a nontech-savvy user, he is unaware of that…

He just felt my website was 100% wrong and gave my company a terrible image.

Is there any way to force Chrome or any other browser to NOT translate the website?

  1. That would involve touching the browsers of visitors. Big NO-NO!

  2. You can put “notranslate” tag on elements you don’t want to be translated.

  3. Every business gets crappy feedback at some point, you can’t please everyone. I think most reasonable people understand how auto-translation works, so IMO the downside of preventing auto-translation completely outweighs the dubious upsides. As a traveler I’ve always relied on auto-translate, and any website that wasn’t translatable (some of them have key info in images, for instance…) would have lost my business.

    Regardless, if you really want to, take a look at [https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-translate-flag](https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-translate-flag) .

  4. How about asking a native speaker to translate your website, then use a plugin to switch to the user’s preferred language? I am the webmaster of a religious site, and I wouldn’t trust Google to translate correctly in any case. If your audience speaks a different language, the good news is that you can expand your readership. I wouldn’t miss the opportunity!
