User reviews

Edge Translate is praised for supporting multiple translation services and preserving full-page translation, making it a valued alternative to the official Google Translate extension. It offers dictionary support and effective translation speed. However, multiple users report issues: the extension does not align with Chrome's extension best practices, causing potential instability and threats to continued support. It can cause PDF loading problems and crashes, lacks language detection features, and sometimes blacklists fail. Despite a less polished interface, it remains a favored tool for many users needing reliable translation.
Pros
  • Supports multiple translation services (Google, Bing, DeepL, Baidu, Tencent).
  • Provides page translation functionality, which some official extensions have removed.
  • Includes dictionary features and text selection translation.
  • Fast and effective translation performance.
  • Highly appreciated by users as a good alternative to the official Google Translate extension.
Cons
  • Extension does not comply with Chrome's extension best practices, leading to instability or loss of support.
  • Causes PDF viewing issues or crashes in browsers when enabled.
  • Translation language detection is not provided.
  • In some cases, blacklisting domains does not prevent translation pop-ups as expected.
  • Interface is less polished compared to other translation extensions.
