Features & Capabilities

A browser extension designed to translate the text you are writing directly within any input field, eliminating the manual process of copying and pasting into an external translator.

The operation is based on a keyboard shortcut. After typing, the user triggers the hotkey, and the original text is replaced by the translation in the configured target language. The translation happens in the same field you are typing in, without opening new windows.

FEATURES

Multiple Provider Support: Allows choosing between the Google Translate, DeepL, and MyMemory APIs (the default option requires no API key). Customizable Hotkey: Trigger translations from any webpage with a configurable shortcut (default: Alt + Q).
Language Control: : Quickly select and swap your source and target languages.
Local History: Recent translations are saved in your browser for reference and can be cleared at any time.

PRIVACY AND DATA The extension's settings, API keys, and history are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. The extension does not transmit data to any of its own servers; communication occurs only between your browser and the translation API you have selected.

Is Hotkey Translator 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

Hotkey Translator may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
