Why does Google Chrome offer to translate some websites and not others?

Google Chrome offers to translate some websites but not others based on several factors, including language detection, user settings, and website-specific configurations. Here are the key reasons:

1. Language Detection

• Chrome automatically detects the language of a webpage. If it differs from the user’s preferred browser language, Chrome offers translation.
• If the page is in the same language as the browser settings, no translation prompt appears.

2. Website-Specific Restrictions

• Some websites block translation by specifying "translate=no" in their HTML code.
• Google may not offer translation if a site has structured content that doesn’t allow easy translation.

3. Previously Dismissed Prompts

• If you previously clicked “Never translate” for a specific language or site, Chrome won’t prompt again unless settings are reset.

4. Google’s Language Support

• Chrome supports many languages, but some rare or complex ones may not trigger the translation feature.

5. Secure or Encrypted Content

• Some encrypted (e.g., banking or government) sites restrict translation for security and privacy reasons.

6. Mixed-Language Pages

• If a page contains multiple languages, Chrome may not recognize it as needing translation.
