<p>I have a site in development that i replicated from another project.
The other project was multi lingual and had some fields that were translated.
This new site does not require any translations but the transalte icon is still appearing next to some fields which is very annoying.</p>
<p>Any idea how I can safely remove these?</p>

You need to set the **Translation method** to **Not translatable** for each field displaying the unwanted translation icon, in the field's settings page.

It may be a tedious task if you have a lot of fields.
