Detect/Prevent google chrome extensions of translating my web page using JavaScript

We have developed a simple WYSIWYG editor to allow users to modify their articles online, but we have faced with a problem that some users are using Chrome extensions to translate the text.

Could we detect/prevent this action using Javascript?

HTML modified/transelated by chrome extensions

I have used (<meta name="google" content="notranslate">) but it doesn't useful except with "Google-translate". So my issue is with other Google-extension/Google-Apps like "ImTranslator", which is able to inject HTML tags into my page

You can mark up specific portions of your webpage and flag them as “don’t translate this part of the page!”. It’s supported by the web-based and browser-based tools from Yandex, Microsoft, Google, and Baidu.

<div translate="no" class="notranslate">
  […]
</div>

Disabling translation tools may make your tools inaccessible/incomprehensible to some users. Try to only mark up the parts that really mustn’t be translated this way and leave as much as possible free to be translated.

I don't think this is within Javascript's control. Try adding this meta tag in your html file:

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
   .
   .
    <meta name="google" content="notranslate">
  <head>

Meta tags that Google understands

When we recognize that the contents of a page are not in the language that the user is likely to want to read, we often provide a link to a translation in the search results. In general, this gives you the chance to provide your unique and compelling content to a much larger group of users. However, there may be situations where this is not desired. This meta tag tells Google that you don't want us to provide a translation for this page.
