I'm running Windows 7 for operating system. Every time I point my cursor at a word, it opens up a box automatically next to the word and gives me translations for this word in many different languages. I only speak English. I do not need all this extra help. Is it supposed to do that ? How can I deactivate this annoying feature ?

Has it always been this way or just recently?

Did it start after installing software or a toolbar?
-sometimes apps will install a toolbar without option not to install but still have the option to uninstall in control panel



Not sure if any of this applies but worth a look, These are questions would have asked but did find them posted. Will help if can


Did you make any changes to your computer recently?
Have you installed Google toolbar on your computer?
Have you installed any cursor translator software in your computer?

If yes, then uninstall it and check.
Uninstall or change a program (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program)

1. Firefox with Google Toolbar is free to download and lets you quickly see translation of English into any other language when you are
Online.
2. With the toolbar installed and configured to display translations, translations will appear in a floating text box as the cursor passes over text displayed in your browser's window.
3. After downloading and installing Firefox and the toolbar, automatic translations can be activated by selecting “Enable Word Translator” from the Translate menu. For more startup help, refer the link below:
