## Description

Translate images and selected text without leaving the page.

On images: Right-click any image and choose "Translate."
On selected text: Select text and either right-click → Translate, or
click the small icon that appears at the end of the selection.
<em>Remember to give permission to work on all websites.</em>

The extension runs OCR via Google Lens, groups detected text into logical blocks (speech bubbles, paragraphs), and translates each block. Translated text appears as hover-on-demand overlays on the original image — hover any text region to see the original alongside the translation. Toggle visibility, copy all translated text, or browse the full segment list below the image.
