Extension summary

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️DEV NOTE - server down 4/1, extension unpublishing 4/8: I wish I could keep this going, but the app is going down. I use Google Vision and Translate API and last month it charged me 90 US dollars for all the API requests, and is forecasted to be 300 this month. I just got out of college and really cannot afford this amount of money every month. I suspect some requests are not coming from the extension, but I need time to investigate. I wish I could solve the problem but I don't think it will happen in the near future. Thank you all for using my app, I wish you can find a similar and better alternative.

very amazing extension, I'm really impressed, but I think it's good to say that it has some serious problems, I really hope it continues to bring updates.

A few days ago it stopped working but with the update they added more languages. Just open image in another tab and hit translate.
