User reviews

Users find Tab Translate to be a simple, quick, and effective translation extension that works well inline without opening new tabs. Its automatic translation upon text selection and split-screen functionality are appreciated. However, multiple users mention lack of customization options, intrusive welcome screen on startup, inconsistent pop-up behavior on touch devices, and pop-up sometimes opening new tabs redirecting to Google Translate, which detracts from the user experience. Overall, it is considered useful but could benefit from added features and refinement.

Pros

Simple and easy to use translation extension.
Automatic translation upon text selection saves time.
Does not open translation in a new tab; translates inline or in pop-up on the same page.
Supports long text translation better than Google Translate.
Split-screen function is useful, especially for reading and converting PDFs.

Cons

Lack of options or customization, e.g., cannot change translation languages in pop-up.
Pop-up translation window behavior issues on touchscreens or tablets.
Annoying welcome window opens every time the browser is launched.
Pop-up sometimes opens in a new tab and redirects to Google Translate, which users find unnecessary.
No way to control automatic translation on selection, leading to unwanted translations.
