chromium displays language bar to translate webpage
Hi, with the recent update, we have again issue that chromium displays translate bar in the upper right corner. How can we get rid of it?
What version of FullPageOS? Nightly or stable?
Stable. However i found solution in the meantime, just change the flags when running chromium. There is flag with value “translateui” And i just changed it to “translate”. Not sure about exact value, as i am away now, but it fixed the issue.

That might mean that we need a code change here: https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/blob/devel/src/modules/fullpageos/filesystem/opt/custompios/scripts/start_chromium_browser#L12
Chromium decided to remove the disable via flag in a newer chromium version Hope they fix it in the near future, or they provide another solution to this. Related google Issue: https://issues.chromium.org/429137221
If someone wants to test and report which flag works I can add a fix.
No flag works... :-(
I'm using https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-image-gen to generate a personalized kiosk mode image. I had to downgrade to chromium-common=135.0.7049.95-1~deb12u1 and chromium=135.0.7049.95-1~deb12u1. This is the last working version.
workaround if you have access to the displayed page/webserver, add this to the header
<head>
<meta name="google" content="notranslate">
....
For me setting the --disable-features=Translate flag in /opt/custompios/scripts/start_chromium_browser worked for disabeling the popup.

This only worked for me after using the version from the RPI image. After sudo apt dist-upgrade the translate bar appears again.
Fix
I changed my Localisation Options via sudo raspi-config to the same language as the kiosk webpage.
