This feature is very well designed and the author of this post did not have anything better to write.

I can assure you that this feature is the reason why I don't use Chrome as my main browser.

      and he's not the only one. apparently other people got bothered by sudden UX degrade in Chrome. Apparently the frequent release cycles made Chrome developers sloppy because the expense of making mistakes seems lees than what they are.

The primary point of the complaint is that feature is obtrusive to the extent it's annoying - it displays some uncalled popup. If an active suggestion (feature advertisement) is necessary, a single once-in-lifetime "hey, here's a way to translate the page - click this icon if you want to do so [ uh, okay, got it, now stop bugging me ]" (with clicking outside treated as "probably didn't read - remind later again") would be a much better approach.

  How many languages are the webpages you visit written in as to make this feature so annoying?
  - darklajid 12y ago
    English, for one. I'm unsure what point you try to argue here. The author of that post explained what is wrong with the feature. You provided zero arguments against that. Saying 'Nope, you are wrong' is not really helpful. For me this feature is highly annoying and utterly broken. I agree with the author and think his points were well made .

    Say, I have basic understanding of Japanese language. I will want assistance in many cases, but I can find my way across basic navigation and in some cases can get a grasp of what's written by glancing (i.e. without fighting translation artifacts). What I don't want is a popup slamming into my face on every single Japanese page visit (or even refresh). I'm not shy with my browser (huh), and I will surely ask for help when I want it. The issue is, if I would click "never translate from Japanese" - the icon in address bar would never appear anymore - the feature will be lost. It wouldn't be an issue if there'd be at least an option "don't suggest to translate, but keep the opportunity".
