I'm Kenji Baheux on the Chrome team and have been overseeing this feature with our UX team.
Please accept my apologies for the trouble. We've been listening and are making the following changes:
1. we won't show the infobubble and rely on the omnibox icon if the focus is on an editable field. https://crbug.com/313100 (fixed in M36)
2. the infobubble will stop stealing the focus: you will be able to type, perform shortcuts, scroll the page and so on. https://crbug.com/378643
3. we are experimenting with the idea of never showing the infobubble again and solely rely on the omnibox icon as soon as we observe more than X negative actions within a given timeframe T (starting with X=2; T=24h) https://crbug.com/379035
4. A few other adjustments around the "translated" infobubble (e.g. will not be shown for automatic translation, will not show up if the "translating" infobubble has been dismissed). https://crbug.com/319628
I'm eager to hear additional feedback and would appreciate if you could play with the feature in Canary as we land the different changes.
I'll take a look at each comments and reply with specific answers where relevant.
Oh for the record, I'm French and my Japanese is better than my English ;) Merci d'avance!
