How to disable automatic translations

more options

I'm having some trouble with automatic translations on firefox. I don't know if It's exclusive of firefox, but some websites, mostly wikis, open a "translate" field that automatically creates a new website, wich causes the images and some other stuff on the website to break. I tried disabling the translation on about:config off, as show in some other questions, but it did not work. This is being really annoying because it keeps breaking websites unless i get to the original link.

Hello,

This isn't the Firefox Translation feature. It is Google Translator (as stated on the left side of the displayed panel) translating a website.

Firefox has nothing to do with it, unless you have a corresponding extension. If you do, just disable (or try configuring) it. If you don't, try to locate, where you get autotranslated pages. From your Google search results? From your Bookmarks? From anywhere else?

i tried checking around google translate options, but nothing seems to have a setting to disable this. Anyway, removing firefox from the culprits list was a great help already, thank you so much!
