If I visit a page that isn't in my native language, how can I make Google Chrome translate it automatically for me into my native language?
Do I need to change any settings, if so where can I find them?

If you have already chosen "Don't translate this page", the prompt won't come up.
You can right-click and there should be a translation option available.
You may have to check the translation bar that drops down to make sure the source language is correct.

but how to do that automatically ? – The Beast – 2019-05-02T16:51:33.317
Chrome wasn't auto detecting a page as being in another language, so even though I hadn't disabled it it wasn't coming up. This context menu method worked, thanks! – Hashbrown – 2013-09-05T05:04:28.937

When you visit a page in Chrome where the language doesn't match your locale, Chrome will prompt you to translate the page content:
As you can see, my locale is English, and when I visit this page in French, Chrome offers to translate the content for me. When I click the Translate button, it will perform an inline translation of the content, and allow you to hover over a word or phrase and see the original content:
If this doesn't happen automatically, make sure that in Chrome's preferences, the option to automatically translate is selected.

So you don't have to change any settings or download extensions? – Ivo Flipse – 2011-01-09T15:59:17.123
@Ivo - no, you do not need to install any extensions. Just update Chrome settings if needed. – Metro Smurf – 2011-01-09T17:33:36.490

If not done automatically, you can use this: Chrome Google Translate extension.
