I am italian, so I have Google Chrome in Italian.

When I browse the web in languages that I don't know, I find very useful the auto-translation bar of google chrome.

The problem is that it translates the language to english and then to italian. Double automatic translation = unintelligible text.

There is a way to force translation to english, and not my language?

Open a new tab in chrome and go to:

chrome://translate-internals

You will be able to manage it from there.

Don't think it's possible, but a quite good workaround is to install the offical extension called Google Translate. It will add a button in the rightmost corner which will translate the current page. If you then right-click this button and choose 'Options', you can set your default translating language.

1. right click the web page, and click Translate to XXX

2. Wait, or double click the icon

3. The popover is shown, click the Options

4. Select your language, and translate

Try right click anywhere on the page and choose "Translate to English"

Update to @Sergio Martinez de Cestafe answer

Using chrome://translate-internals on Chrome Version 52 I set Override Variations Country to "en"

Tested on one site and clicking Translate in Chrome now translates to English rather than my local country language.
