How Do I Disable Microsoft Translator in Internet Explorer

internet explorer

I am trying to configure an older switch that is only configurable via a Web GUI. The Web GUI only works in IE, too.

OK, so I am using IE 10 (in IE compatibility mode), and there is one particular popup window that refuses to load. For whatever reason, IE is trying to reach http://microsofttranslator.com, perhaps there's some content in the Window that is fooling IE into trying to translate it:

Silly IE translation

I'm doing all of this on a network that has no outbound access, so the window never loads.

If I load this Window in Google Chrome, the Window's DOM loads fine (though I can't use the Window because the Web GUI's JavaScript is IE-specific), so I am fairly certain this is being done by Internet Explorer itself.

How can I disable this automatic translation behavior in IE?
