Features & Capabilities

Select Translate is an open-source extension that shows an instant popup translation right on the page.

How it works

Set your preferred language once — then simply select any word, phrase, or sentence to see the translation.
Choose how it triggers:
always on selection, or
only while holding Alt / Ctrl / ⌘ (many users prefer Alt).

Privacy & network

No account required. No user tracking.
Translation results are cached locally on your device to reduce unnecessary network requests.
Requests are sent only to:
https://translate.googleapis.com (translation)
https://dictionary.skyeng.ru — only when translating a single English word into Russian (dictionary card).

Is Translate Selection Safe?

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.

Translate Selection requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox 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 a Firefox add-on.

Translate Selection is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
