Make the "Contribute to a better translation pop-up box" an on/off toggle

Reported by mitchell...@gmail.com, May 25 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to http://www.kiteinn.com/forum.php
2. Invoke Google translate
3. Hover cursor over any translated text. Notice the presence of Pop-up box. It obscures the translated text, it can interfere with click through behavior, It asks for user input to contribute to a better translation. The latter implies that the person who actually required the translation is adept enough to correct the syntax of the unintelligible foreign language in the first place!  

What is the expected behavior?
The pop-up box that appears, takes a large portion of the screen, can not be toggled off and significantly interferes with the user experience in chromium. There are many users who complain about this in the forums. Many feel that the development teams do not pay attention to these complaints.

What went wrong?
I recommend that any user be allowed to keep automatic translation on all the time. However, the pop-up box that invites users to "contribute to a better translation" should be an on/off toggle in settings. This pop-up box appears when the cursor is hovered anywhere on a page that has been translated. I feel that 9 of every 10 users of google translate would support turning this "original text/Contribute to a better translation" feature off.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

Please allow users of Translate the option of disabling the pop-up box which shows the original text and prompts for "contribute for a better translation"

Seems like a feature request.
Marking it as Untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks,
