Simply select any word or sentence on a webpage and get a floating translation popup right next to your selection, removing the need to switch tabs or open a new window. The popup automatically hides when you move away, giving a clean and seamless user experience. Key features include a panel view of Google Translate on any site, a right-click context menu to send selected text to Google Translate, and easy access links for Google Define and Google Translate. Recent updates introduced options to use right-click translation instead of the bubble, translate entire pages using a toolbar button, and suppress context menu items for a cleaner interface. This extension is a handy tool to quickly translate and understand multilingual content effortlessly. ## Rankings - #1,410 — Overall - #57 — Language Support - #157 — Search Tools - #9 — google translate - #11 — popup - #28 — translate ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `activeTab` - `scripting` - `storage` - `contextMenus` ### Host permissions - `*://*/*` ### Content script matches - `*` - `translate.google.com` - `translate.google.com.hk` - `translate.google.com.tr` - `translate.google.com.tw` - `translate.google.com.ua` - `translate.google.com.as` - `translate.google.com.vn` - `translate.google.co.in` - `translate.google.co.jp` - `translate.google.co.kr` - `translate.google.co.uk` - `translate.google.cn` - `translate.google.de` - `translate.google.fr` - `translate.google.it` - `translate.google.pl` - `translate.google.ru` ## Safety - **Risk impact:** Very high risk impact - **Risk likelihood:** Low risk likelihood ### Analysis details - Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site. - This extension has low user count.

However, several issues are reported: the popup is not an instant hover but requires clicking, window sizing is not adjustable, source language cannot be saved, privacy is compromised in Private mode, and the popup icon may interfere with site interactions. ### Pros - Provides translation results in a popup window near selected text, enhancing user experience compared to opening a new tab. - User-configurable options available, allowing customization. - Translates entire web pages directly without navigating away. - Includes pronunciation feature for translated text. - Simple and functional alternative to other Google Translate extensions. ### Cons - Popup window does not behave like an instant popover; requires clicking an icon instead of automatically showing translation on text selection. - Does not save popup window size or adapt to translated text size, causing usability issues. - Lacks option to save source language preference, leading to extra clicks. - Uses Google sign-in session from non-Private windows when used in Private mode, risking privacy. - The popup icon can interfere with website elements on some sites, e.g., Duolingo, causing accidental clicks. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Google™ Translator Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/google-translator-lite) — 5,306 users, 3.77 / 5 - [Quick Search for Google Translate](https://chrome-stats.com/d/quick-search-for-gtranslate) — 3 users, 3.75 / 5 - [Google Translate](https://chrome-stats.com/d/google-translate-in-line) — 2,396 users, 4.33 / 5 - [Google™ Translator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/google-translator-webextension) — 5,217 users, 4.07 / 5 - [Translator - translation of selected text](https://chrome-stats.com/d/translater-gt) — 298 users, 5.00 / 5 - [App for Google Translate™](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app-for-google-translate) — 277 users, 4.20 / 5 - [Simple Google Translate](https://chrome-stats.com/d/simple-google-translate) — 562 users, 3.32 / 5 - [QuickTranslate Popup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/quicktranslate-popup) — 1 users - [G-Translate on Right Click](https://chrome-stats.com/d/g-translate-on-right-click) — 293 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Quick Google Translate](https://chrome-stats.com/d/quick-translate) — 133 users, 3.67 / 5 - [Google Translate](https://chrome-stats.com/d/google-translate_) — 2 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Popup Translator – Instant Translate Any Website](https://chrome-stats.com/d/popup-translate) — 20 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/dictionary-anywhere)
