While this is theoretically a neat feature, how can I stop it? I don’t want it to offer translation of each and any English page into my native tongue. As most of the Internet is English, this thing pops up everywhere, and at least for English I don’t need it. This is as annoying as Clippy was.

You can disable it in the menu that opens when you click on the button at the right of the address bar

It would be nice if that worked, but it doesn’t. I found a “Settings” requester under Language -> Translations where it offers to disable translation for a list of languages, but I cannot add any.

In the annoying popup, there is a cog wheel, clicking that will show a menu. That menu have a checked checkbox, Always offer to translate, uncheck that.

Each time it offers to translate a page, there’s a “Never translate from [LANGUAGE]” button.

Most of the internet is not in English lol. 45% of the web is in English.

But I share your sentiment.
