Is there a way to turn off the automatic text translation at the MSDN

  • 0

Is there a way to turn off the automatic text translation at the MSDN library pages ?

I do prefer English text but due to having a German IP address Microsoft activates the automatic translation on every new page load which gives me a yellow box with a German translation of the text I am currently hovering over with the mouse.

This happens regardless what language is initially set in the right upper corner and regardless of whether I am logged in or not.

I can’t tell how annoying this is !!

Any ideas, anyone ?

    When you hit the “Original” radio button at the top, you see English, with German in the yellow hover box.
    If you visit the original English site, you don’t see a translation, not even on hover.
    You switch to English by replacing /de-de/ in the URL with /en-us/. As in

    German (translation or original with translation on hover):

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.diagnostics.contracts.contractargumentvalidatorattribute(v=vs.110).aspx

    English only (no translation):

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.contracts.contractargumentvalidatorattribute(v=vs.110).aspx
