An Open Letter to Chrome

I love how you always offer to translate a website that isn’t in my native language, but I really do wish there was a way to set that to Automatic so that when I visit, let’s say, a German site, I have the option of bypassing your prompt for translation by allowing you to do so automatically, when detecting a foreign language site. Wouldn’t this improve the browsing experience overall, by retaining the natural flow of the experience? If needed, you could even allow for an option to have an icon appear in the address bar, much like your Bookmark Star already does. This would allow a person to revert to the original language of the site, for example a person who is comfortable reading that foreign language. The icon would allow for reversion, and offer the option of filtering that particular language form then on—if the user so chooses.
Anyhow, will you at least think about it?
