Features & Capabilities

Edge Translate is a powerful browser extension designed to enhance your reading and translation experience. Supporting Chrome, Firefox, and 360 Secure Browser, it utilizes the Google Translate API to provide accurate translations for words, sentences, PDFs, and entire webpages. The extension features a friendly side pop-up for translation results that doesn't disrupt your reading flow and includes customizable display options to focus on key translation elements such as pronunciation, definitions, and example sentences.

Users can benefit from extensive shortcut keys for efficient translation, a blacklist feature to disable translation on specified pages, and multiple webpage translation options via YouDao or Google. While some features are limited on Firefox due to platform restrictions, Edge Translate remains a community-driven, open-source tool built using top development frameworks like Mozilla's pdf.js and webpack. Its continued improvement is driven by user feedback and open collaboration, making it an essential companion for those needing quick and reliable translations while browsing.

User Reviews

Edge Translate for Firefox is praised for speed and ease of use, with solid browser integration and customizable options. However, users repeatedly flag drawbacks in translation accuracy, noting it doesn’t always align with Google Translate and varies by engine. The extension also lacks a dark mode and shows reliability issues on some pages. Some reviews mention frustration with different translation engines and a desire for bidirectional translation. Overall, it’s fast and convenient but needs improvements in accuracy, theming, and stability.

Is Edge Translate 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.

Edge Translate requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
