It is a much desired "Feature" to auto-detect language on instant entry
to page.
Entering onto the page in Google Translate is equivalent "to paste and
press return".

This is more than a security hazard,as Google records everything you do
in 'history ' on translate.

However it says this is English and cannot translate it into English!

coorse.
