Recently Google Chrome overtook Internet Explorer as the world’s most used internet browser. Among its killer features is the automatic translation it applies to sites in other languages. Translation works more or less seamlessly and has been a life-saver for this ex pat. However, when you hover over a translated word, Chrome insists on showing the original word in a large white popup nearby. To date I’ve not found a way to disable this. I’ve tried closing the popup but it appears again and again. Most annoyingly however, this popup often appears in front of the link you wish to click on. Thus completely preventing you from clicking on that link (unless you are lightening quick with your mouse). Looks like one of those no brainer changes they should make as quickly as possible.

Look what Chrome does when it tries to translate Pathe's site http://www.pathe.nl/bioscoopagenda/amsterdam/23-5-2012?cinema=demunt. You have to choose 'Show Original' to see any of the listings!! Ooops.
