Yes, If text is lang is EN and browser is DE, translate is fired. You can disable this.

"When Google recognizes that the contents of a page are not in the language that the user is likely to want to read, Google often provides a link to a translation in the search results. In general, this gives you the chance to provide your unique and compelling content to a much larger group of users. However, there may be situations where this is not desired. This meta tag tells Google that you don't want us to provide a translation for this page."

<meta name="google" content="notranslate">

The text itself was DE. The lang attribute was set to EN. I don’t know what language defaults his browser has. I assume DE. I thought Chrome was smarter then relying on this one attribute for translation…
