How can I get rid of Google Translate popup bar?
Some sites keep showing me this stupid Google Translate bar that cannot be disabled. No matter what I click on it simpy shows up again after some time and under conditions I haven't figured out yet.
Is there any Ublock filter I can use to block this?
translate.googleapis.com/translate_static/js/element/main.js
Doesn't work unfortunately (I took that from another thread where I asked about the same thing in past)

Re: How can I get rid of Google Translate popup bar?
Do you have any sites that showcases this?
I've never seen this myself, that I know of, but I do block all third party google stuff by default with eMatrix.

Re: How can I get rid of Google Translate popup bar?
Don't use any Google products knowingly or intentionally, all blocked and/or avoided... thus never seen what the 'Google Translate bar' might look like?
There is an excellent Reddit sub for uBlock Origin (uBO) at r/uBlockOrigin... very active with prompt responses from many expert uBO users (and probably uBO team members?)
Admittedly, the r/uBlockOrigin sub is aimed at users of current uBO and uBO Lite (uBOL) implementations... and doesn't deal with Legacy uBO except for the very occasional question. However, the sub is a mine of information regarding filters for removing all manner of online annoyances... e.g results for a search of r/uBlockOrigin using keywords 'Google Translate bar'... which finds recent post 'Looking for a filter rule to HIDE Google translate results from Google search results',

Re: How can I get rid of Google Translate popup bar?
I had to choose between US and International first, and chose international. That is the same as you, yeah?
I don't have it, and I allow it in uBO (translate.google.com under google.com), but deny it with eMatrix.

Try the "Intercept & Modify HTTP Response 4.3" add-on ( https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=31829&start=20#p258461 ), with the following filter:LuftWafflePilot wrote: ↑2025-09-03, 08:04Some sites keep showing me this stupid Google Translate bar that cannot be disabled.
https://www.parktool.com/en-int/
Code: Select all
[`/parktool.com/`, `/.*/`, [`/googleTranslateElementInit/g`, ``]]
Open https://www.parktool.com/ and Click on "INTERNATIONAL"
The page https://www.parktool.com/en-int/ opens (and remains) without Google Translate Bar

For me the stupid bar appears, but I can soon get rid of it clicking on the X at the extreme right.LuftWafflePilot wrote: ↑2025-09-03, 08:04Some sites keep showing me this stupid Google Translate bar that cannot be disabled. No matter what I click on it

Yes that's true, but I was hoping there was a way to disable the entire thing globally.

Now it's this script:

//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit-
