Force Edge not to automatically translate content

I did some searching and never found an answer. StackOverflow's search algorithm helped me, now that I formulated my whole post. So I thought I might as well put this post up - perhaps someone will find their way here through my search words.

Problem

My app's text content is automatically translated in the browsers. In Chrome it's actually alright - nothing weird, doesn't translate people's names. In Microsoft Edge we have a problem though. Even words in the 'correct' language are translated, and so are names.

I can't rely on user's having the correct settings in their browsers.

How to disable automatic translation in Edge?

Try adding a language attribute to your html, as <html lang="en">(*Change it according to your site language). OR You can also add translate="no" to any portion you do not want to translate, as <body translate="no">

Solution

HTML Global attribute translate.

Put translate="no" on elements that shouldn't be translated by the browser. Translation may be on, but the content will still not be translated.

This could also be used partially, where for example I can set translate="yes" on headings but translate="no" to user-content (names, comments, whatever).
