Google Chrome browser, how to permanently disable this disturbing toolbar?

Yes, there is a --disable-translate switch that can be passed from the command line.

google-chrome --kiosk www.france.fr

google-chrome --disable-translate --kiosk www.france.fr

Note: some extra information I found is that if there's already another instance of Chrome running, running it from the command-line will show Created new window in existing browser session, which has proved to ignore the switches passed in the command, so you won't be able to pass the --disable-translate switch, so you'll need to close all instances first. However, if you want to run a new instance from the command line alongside the existing instance, you can do google-chrome --user-data-dir=$(mktemp -d) --kiosk --disable-translate (or another directory). This involves the creation of a new user data directory.

There are lots of other switches available in Chrome/Chromium that can be used. You can find them listed here and here.

    I have an STM3220g-EVAL board. It doesn't seem to have a preloaded image in it now, as it was used for other purposes. When I power it on, the display is shown blank.

    I dont have a STLINK/V2 hardware. I am using Trace32 and Lauterbach for flashing and debugging the code.

    I created a simple C program, created an elf file by using arm-none-eabi-gcc toolchain, and was able to flash it into the STM3220g-EVAL board using a cmm script for stm32 provided in demo folder of Trace32.

    What I require is to flash default image for STM3220g-eval using Trace32. Can someone provide me the link to get the boot image and cmm script to flash the same.

    I tried the demonstration builder platform and demonstration firmware provided in the following link http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/PF250374

    As they are providing hex file, I used Trace 32 command data.load.asciihex to load the hex file. When I press go, am getting error( emulation poer fail).

    Can somesome provide me the correct cmm script to flash the .hex file to the board.

      Are you talking specifically about the translation toolbar? Why don't you just disable it all together from the Chrome settings and it won't disturb you ever again, even if you run Chrome from the command line? Chrome > Settings > under Language, uncheck "Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read".

    I don't know much about that, but I'll post a comment on your question there.
