Brave-browser: Google-Translate-extention Pop-Up

[GraOrigin]

Description

Since v0.69.132 I'm being plagued by a new pop-up on every english site, asking me to install google-translate-extention to translate this site. Since I've not found a option to disable it in settings and somehow "brave://config" does not exist anymore (where did this go to?) I'm wondering how to disable it.

Brave version (brave://version info)

macOS Version 0.69.132 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)

Issue also occurs on the linux build
Linux Version 0.69.132 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Same problem under Windows, does anyone test this browser? lol Who was the bright person that decided to make it popup in every f* website, really guys.

My workaround is to install the extension and then disable it.

@GraOrigin @psisavant @TCB13 What language is set on the browser?

@GraOrigin @psisavant @TCB13 What language is set on the browser?

Portuguese, but that's kind of irrelevant, the browser should not show a popup on every website. It should have something on the options that allows me to pick if I want translations or not.

Same thing's happening to me, 0.69.132 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) mostly on websites that are non-english (my browser's set to english, so is my OS).

I've used https://aktuality.sk as an example (slovak news portal).

@srirambv
Happens on non-English browser locale while trying to view English sites but as @TCB13 wrote that's indeed not the point. The popups are very obnoxious and there's no apparent way of disabling them. As such I didn't install the extension in fear of not being able to disable its effects later.

@GraOrigin @psisavant @TCB13 @Numline1
The option to disable the popups is in the Language drop down at brave://settings/languages.
Please see below for screenshot of the Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language you read option, thanks.

And yes, the extension can be disabled through brave://extensions if you do decide to install it.

Oh boy - that setting is really hard to find. Thanks @yrliou - this worked for me.

@yrliou
Seems like that dropdown was well-hidden for me due to non-dark GUI chosen.
Everything's been working fine after adjusting these options.
Nevertheless, making the popup less aggressive or otherwise capable of taking the user to the translation options could make it more accessible.

I suggest the popup adds a button "Never ask again" that will toggle the setting on brave://settings/languages

[kjozwiak]

@vincentdeity yup agreed, brought this up in one of our Slack channels yesterday re: adding a Never ask again checkbox. Similar to what we have with Widevine. Created https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/6340. We'll get this fixed ASAP 👍

brave://settings/languages

I'm on Linux Version 0.69.132 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit), Italian language set and the option isn't there.

[yrliou]

With today's release (Version 0.69.135), the prompt contains a button Don't ask me again for users to disable the prompt. (#6340)
The setting could still be changed through Language dropdown in brave://settings/languages after.
I'm going to close this issue since it's now addressed, thanks.
