Question:
How could I force my website to be displayed in original default language instead of device\browser language?

Product:
Wix live website

What are you trying to achieve:
My website is set to English but when I visit from a browser with a different language it automatically translate into browser’s language, even without having automatic translation active (either Chrome and Safari). For instance, if my browser is set to Italian, then page is translated to Italian (except for dynamic content).

Also, this issue is experienced in homepage and some other random page. Not everywhere.

What have you already tried:
Try this snipper in Head custom code section:

<html lang="en">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en">
<meta name="robots" content="no-translate">

Additional information:
Wix customer care said it is now a problem of WIX. Saying that all WIX website will be automatically translated if a browser language is different. Really disappointed.

Wix sites can get auto-translated by browsers like Chrome and Safari if the user’s language is different, even if translation is off in Wix. Since Wix doesn’t have a built-in fix, try adding <meta name="google" content="notranslate"> in Settings → Custom Code (Head Section) to stop Google from translating your site. Also, double-check that your default language is set to English in Wix’s SEO settings. If some pages still translate, you might need a JavaScript workaround in Dev Mode. Let me know if you need help setting that up.

Thanks for reply! Tried with snippet code but still does not work. For SEO setting I cannot find a specific section related to default language but my website is already set to English.
