Microsoft Edge Translation Tool

I have, what I think, is a strange problem.

I have been creating a webpage for my site that, whenever I refresh the page, prompts Microsoft Edge (but not Chrome or FireFox) to ask me if I would like to translate the page from Portuguese and sometimes French. I have been going through the HTML to identify what is causing this issue and I have discovered the following block of code is causing the issue:

<p class="ltol__pub">
  This website is a publication of the livingtheOKlife company.
</p>

You may at this point be thinking that the name "livingtheOKlife" is causing the issue. However, I have used this name on multiple webpages in the past and never had this problem before. Furthermore, if I use a different line for the paragraph:

<p class="ltol__pub">
  This website was designed and created by the livingtheOKlife
  company.
</p>

The issue is resolved.

It is not an problem if I have to use the second line instead of the first. I can sleep at night if that is to be the case. However, I would very much like to know if anyone knows what may be causing the translate prompt to appear?

... and before you say it, I have included <html lang="en"> in the document.

... and I'm also aware this could be a bug, but I cannot find any record of it anywhere.

Solution 1:

Add translate="no" in the <html> tag of your page. Also add <meta> tag with name="google" and content="notranslate" in the <head>. This tag should also work on Edge.

<html lang="en" translate="no">
 <head>
   <meta name="google" content="notranslate">
 </head>  
...
</html>
