Disable automatic translation of email messages
How do I disable automatic translation of Thunderbird messages by Deep-L (or any other machine translator)? This morning I received an email from a family member, written in German. Underneath the original message was an automated translation into English by Deep-L. I didn´t ask for this translation. I speak German as a second language, as well as other languages, and I enjoy using my linguistic abilities. Furthermore, I don´t like my private messages being passed to a database without my permission. If I want a translation of a message, I´ll ask for it.
This is evidently a new, annoying feature. I had an email exchange in German with someone just a few weeks ago without this intervention. I have tried searching the settings tab on Thunderbird, but have not discovered anything about Translation settings (not under Language settings, as far as I can see).
How do I disable Thunderbird sending emails for unwanted translation? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, Thunderbird doesn't offer message translations by default.
Please check and see whether your email provider does that or if you enabled an addon in Thunderbird such as https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/deepl-selected-text/
