A few questions about translate="yes"

I am not so familiar with this attribute. Is this the reason the translate this site icon shows up beside the address bar?

When it's included in an element like a div it will only translate only what's inside the actual div?

When it's included in the <HTML> tag will it translate the whole site?  (<html lang="no" translate="yes">)

I'm guessing that's a browser feature. For example, Google Chrome automatically shows an icon to translate a website when you view a page written in a foreign language. More information can be found here:

The translate attribute sounds like it can be used to control how these automatic translation services work. For example, you can say that a particular word shouldn't be translated since it is a brand name.
