Google Chrome offers to translate some websites and not others based on the language of the content. When Chrome detects that a website is written in a language different from your browser’s default language, it prompts you with an option to translate the page.

Here are the key reasons why translation might be offered or not:

1. Language Detection: Chrome uses automated algorithms to detect the website’s primary language. If the site is in a language different from your browser settings, it suggests translation.
2. Settings Configuration: If you’ve disabled translation prompts for certain languages in your Chrome settings, the browser won’t offer to translate those sites.
3. Meta Tags: Some websites use meta tags to indicate language preferences, which may affect Chrome’s translation prompts.
4. Exempt Websites: Certain sites, like local or private domains, might not trigger translation offers due to how they’re indexed or coded.

You can customize translation settings in Chrome to manage these prompts better!
