Readonly mode for Google translate
Users are looking for a way to translate Discourse pages using Google Translate without issues. rubo77 found that the usual Google Translate URL parameter doesn’t work due to Discourse serving a JavaScript version to Google Translator. However, disabling JavaScript completely makes it work. rubo77 suggests adding a GET option to enable a no-script view of a page. Meanwhile, riking and ryantm note that the built-in Chrome translate function works fine, but using the Google Translate website still poses problems, such as generating empty translations and forum log entries.
The “translate to {language}” function built into Chrome works fine on Discourse IIRC.

It also generates entries in the forum logs.
