How to prevent Google Translate in AppSheet?

Some of our users may have enabled Google Translate for English in their Google Chrome Browser.

This leads to crazy and sometimes embarrassing translations. The user may be confused. It will translate text coming from the App like column names. But also text entered by the user and that's even worse. For example: A user enters the word "Notebook" in a text column and saves the form. This word would be displayed as "Notizbuch" in the detail view. So the user will think "What is this App doing with my entries?!".

Under [Info > Properties > App Properties > Description] we inform the user to not use Google Translate. But this may be overseen, even though we enabled [UX > Options > General > Start with About].

Do you have any better ideas how to prevent a user from using Google Translate in AppSheet?

BTW: This can lead to funny translations also in the Editor ๐Ÿ˜€
