That would be cool, it's some css magic I wasn't aware of.

Just did some testing – I've modified the Activity Team page with the  
below snippet:

<noinclude><div class="noprint">{{GoogleTrans-en}}{{TeamHeader| 
Activity Team}}</div></noinclude>

...and all the google translate is removed when printing:

Can you give it a quick test and confirm?
