The extension features a convenient translation button that appears when text is selected—unless disabled to avoid unnecessary clutter. Real-time translation is available in the toolbar popup, and automatic language switching between two languages (e.g., English and Japanese) enhances usability. Additionally, users can access translation options directly from the context menu, including translating entire pages, selected text, or links. Simple Translate streamlines the browsing experience by making translations effortless and accessible.

User reviews

Simple Translate is praised for its easy-to-use interface and automatic popup translations when text is selected, along with useful customization options. Users appreciate its speed, practicality, and sufficient translation quality for regular use. However, common issues include occasional inaccurate translations, occasional failure or errors in translation, and lack of spoken translation features. Users also note it does not work properly on some specific webpages.

Fast and practical, providing sufficient translation functionality for everyday use.

Cons

Occasional translation errors, with some translations being inaccurate compared to Google Translate.
Sometimes translation does not work properly or results in errors.
Limited functionality as it lacks spoken translation feature, which users wish to have.
Some confusion or issues regarding automatic translation on certain sites such as Microsoft Edge's own pages.

Recent reviews

No sé por qué traduce mal. Es el mejor en cuanto a practicidad ya que seleccionas un texto y sin más acción, aparece la ventana con la traducción. Pero vean este ejemplo. > "How scam factories rope in honest workers." Traducción: > "Cómo estafa las fábricas de la cuerda en los trabajadores honestos." y así de mal en general. Supuestamente lo traduce con google. Pero si vas al traductor de google, traduce así. > "Cómo las fábricas fraudulentas atraen a trabajadores honestos."

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Simple Translate requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Simple Translate has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
