On mobile and desktop, Google Translate in Chrome only asks to translate on certain pages, like this one:

On others, it doesn't. Note the lack of translation icon on the right of the browser url bar:

This isn't such a problem on desktop, where I can just right click anywhere on the page and select "Translate to English". But on mobile, there's no way to translate the whole page unless the browser detects it.

Would be rad to figure out how Chrome decides to ask, and ensure all pages have the chance :)

Thanks!
