How to Disable Automatic Browser Translation

Step by Step Guide

Written by David William

Many browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Safari offer automatic translation of web pages. This can be handy, but on platforms like WorkFlex it sometimes leads to display errors, wrong terms or technical problems.

We therefore recommend turning off automatic browser translation when you use WorkFlex.

Why disable automatic translation?

  • Prevent incorrect UI translations

  • Ensure accurate platform functionality

  • Improve performance and loading stability

  • Maintain a consistent user experience

The process is very similar across most browsers and takes less than one minute.
