How to disable translation into languages. How to set up automatic translation in mobile browsers. Why Yandex browser does not translate pages or words

The first thing a person remembers when becoming a PC user is the key combination Alt + Shift or Ctrl + Shift. It is responsible for changing the keyboard layout, or rather, changing the input language. Sometimes, having forgotten about the current setting, the user writes and writes something, and then, looking at the monitor, falls into despair. The entire text resembles a set of letters that must be deleted and retyped. To prevent this kind of misunderstanding from preventing the user of Windows 10 (and earlier builds of Windows) from working with text editors, the developers of some software have provided the ability to automatically switch the language to the one that was already in use. Sometimes such concern for convenience causes confusion and the user does not know how to disable automatic language switching in Windows 10 and simultaneously type in both Russian and English.

Disable auto-switching in Windows 10 programs and settings

Windows 10 developers have given the user the opportunity to choose how the system behaves with the text input language in a particular application. Unfortunately, not all text editors support automatic language switching. However, in the input method settings of the operating system itself, you can specify the need to remember the desired language for each application. To do this, you should perform the following manipulations:

  • Right-click on the Start icon and select Control Panel.
  • A new window will appear. Select the “Language” section.

  • A window with language settings will appear. Click on the “Advanced options” link. Here we check the box “Allow you to choose an input method for each application” if you want to enable automatic language switching or uncheck the box to deactivate the function.

After making changes in this section of the Control Panel, automatic language switching can be turned off or on in a specific program. Let's look at an example using the Word program, as it is the program most used by owners of PCs with Windows 10.

  • Open Microsoft Word. Click “File”, “Options”.

  • A small window will appear. In the menu on the left, select “Advanced” and check or uncheck (depending on the purpose) the item “Automatically switch keyboard layout according to the language of the surrounding text.”

  • Save the changes. Now, auto-switching will not work and you will be able to change the input language yourself (or vice versa).

It is important to note that only in editors that allow you to create text documents, you can enable or disable language autosave. This cannot be done in other programs.

A programmatic way to disable auto-switching of the input language

You can enable or disable automatic language switching when entering text using the Punto Switcher program. This program will monitor your typing and, if necessary, change the input language. At the same time, it is important to note that the program switches the language not only in text editors, but also in games, programs and Windows itself. You can configure it as follows.

Install the program. We launch it on our PC. Call up the settings. Select “General” and indicate when and how to change the keyboard layout.

By going to the “Hot Keys” section, you can configure language switching control. It is enough to double-click to select a parameter and set a key combination for it.

If you do not want automatic language switching to work in some program, you should select the “Exception Programs” section and add software in which automatic layout switching will be disabled.

Thus, using such a lightweight program, automatic language switching in Windows 10 and installed programs can be turned on or off. The main thing is to set the necessary parameters correctly.

If Google Translator is installed on your device, then you can translate selected text in any application, including browsers.

To ensure that Chrome always translates websites in a specific language, you need to enable the “Always translate...” option. Google Translate supports 103 languages.
