Google Translate is "lost" when clicking links

[tordans]

Description

My goal is to be able to translate a Gatsby page and navigate on the translated page (and staying on the translated page while navigating).

Reproduction Link

https://bikelane-safetycheck.net/

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open https://bikelane-safetycheck.net/
2. Follow the translation link in the modal
3. Hover over a link in the footer => the browser bar shows the google translate domain (Screenshot)

Expected behavior: Clicking this link opens the google translate URL for that page

What happens: Users get directed to the original page and need to re-translate from there

Brainstorming

I assume that Gatsby captures the links and does not actually use the href that was shown in the browser bar, but some other URL that. If true, ideally there would be a way to change or correct this behavior to stay on the given domain. Alternatively, maybe disabling this part of Gatsby would help, which is what was proposed in https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/6300#issuecomment-538234820 I think. However, this disable has to happen based on the domain/location.host …

---

In general, this is something else than https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/6300, which was about a flash of translated content. This is about not being able to navigate on a translated page.

Hi!

Since we didn't receive an answer for 7 days or more about the ask of a reproduction I'm going to close this now, as we can't do much to help without a reproduction. If you are able to create a minimal reproduction for this then please do answer here or open a new issue with a reproduction. Thanks!
