Translator Extension Overview

The Translator Chrome extension offers a straightforward way to translate selected or typed text and entire web pages directly within your browser. You can easily translate any selected text by highlighting it and clicking the extension button. Alternatively, enter text manually to translate it instantly within the popup interface.

For full webpage translation, simply press the extension's button on the desired page and choose "Translate active page". You can also configure default target languages and enable a handy translate toolbar through the extension's preferences for a smoother multilingual browsing experience. Additionally, the extension supports launching the translator in a separate window, making it convenient to set up desktop shortcuts.

Users can contribute by translating the extension's user interface into different languages via a shared spreadsheet. This extension is perfect for anyone needing quick, accessible translation tools while browsing.

User reviews

Users appreciate the Translator Edge add-on for its automatic language detection, ease of use, and convenient context menu translation feature. It offers more detailed translation context than some competitors. However, many have reported issues with the right-click translation function and pop-up behavior after updates, along with occasional failures or stoppages during use. Users desire improvements like text-to-speech, better UI customization, and removal of the distracting icon color. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a favored lightweight translator with a clean design.

Pros

Automatically detects source language and translates accurately without needing manual language selection.
User-friendly, simple, and quick interface.
Convenient context menu (right-click) translation feature, allowing quick translation of selected text.
Provides more context than other translators, such as part of speech and synonyms.
Lightweight and with a clean design.

Cons

Right-click translation feature and pop-up window have stopped working or opened as before after recent updates.
Automatic language detection sometimes selects 'undefined,' causing translation failures.
The extension occasionally stops functioning properly after some use or after browser restarts.
Lack of features such as auto vocalization (speaking translated text) and adjustable UI/window size.
Annoying or unattractive yellow color on the extension icon.

Очень удобное расширение, долгое время им пользуюсь. Особенно привлекает наличие кнопки расширения при нажатии ПКМ. Выделил текст, нажал ПКМ и перевел, быстро и удобно. Но в последнее время данная функция перестала работать. Во первых оно перестало открываться в отдельном окне как это раньше было (можно добавить функцию чтобы открывалось на боковой панели например), а во вторых не знаю почему, но после включения браузера спустя некоторое время кнопка вообще перестает функционировать.
