Is there a way to disable the Translate toolbar in Google Chrome?

Question

In Google Chrome there's this built-in Google Translate toolbar:

However, I'm unable to find a way to disable the darn thing!

Has anyone found a way to do so yet? I know it's a dev built, so it will be fixed in the next release. But it would be nice if there was a workaround.

Answer 1

Here's how to do it:

To disable the translation bar for all sites and languages, go to Tools > Options > Under the Hood > Translate and deselect the box next to "Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read."

To disable the translation bar for a particular language or site, click Options on the right side of the bar and select either "Never translate this site" or "Never translate this language."

Answer 2

You're not the only one to complain ... :-)

Apparently, according to a comment on this page:

Seems like Chromium lacks this “feature”. Version is 5.0.321.0, so pretty uptodate and no damn translation-thingy popping up :-)
