Hi,

Exact same thing here Windows 10 and Edge 97.0.1072.62.

Even if translation is disabled, in kiosk mode Edge is still asking for translating page !
Very annoying.

Glad to hear I am not the only one experiencing this. And yes, very annoying, this destroys a very good kiosk solution.

    I found a way to disable it add this option to command line : --disable-features=Translate 

     

    Best regards,

        Hi,

         

        Unfortunately if you use Assigned Access I think you cannot put extra options.

        But if you use shell:startup and a shortcut to run edge in the target of the shortcut you can put :

        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features=Translate --no-first-run --kiosk <URL> --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen
