Disable Google Chrome from translating my site

Disable Google Chrome from translating my site

Our Moodle site has several courses in different languages and using google chrome we realize that it offers students to auto translate the course into English which defeats the whole purpose of learning a new language.  This can be troublesome when some of our courses are in different languages.  Most of our teachers are having to attach images of text rather than being able to type them in directly to moodle.

Is there an easier way for us to disable google translate bar from chrome?

Well according to https://www.google.co.uk/#q=disable+google+translate+for+my+site and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7228972/disable-chrome-translation-bar-on-my-website

You need to add a meta tag to your site's page header:

<meta name="google" content="notranslate" />

You can probably add this by editing your site's theme (or there may be an 'extra headings' section in your theme settings).

...although, it can't be too difficult for them to simply copy and paste the content into Google Translate.
