Bing translator widget without original text popup

Question

I have implemented Bing Translator Widget in my website. It works great. However I could not find any way to disable annoying popups attached to hover event on translated texts that shows original text.

Is there any way I can disable it. Thanks in advance.

Following are links to Official pages about how to use the widget:

Got the same problem here, and after some explorations, you can do this in javascript :

Microsoft.Translator.Widget.domTranslator.showHighlight = false;
Microsoft.Translator.Widget.domTranslator.showTooltips = false;

But this must be done after translation, in my case I use Web Widget Customization API, so i can hide tooltips in the onComplete callback of Translate function.

Beware, it's not documented, so I don't know how long this will work. But it's the only way I found.

Use this line of code after loading your javascript.

window['_mstConfig'].floaterStylePath = '';

This will remove the styling of the popup.
