User reviews
Users find Simple Translator excellent for language learning and quick, context-aware translations. It is praised for ease of use and helping learners avoid mistakes. However, several users note it lacks direct highlight-to-translate capability, offline support, and integrated synonym/conjugation features. Some report it currently has bugs or is not functioning properly. Overall, it's highly recommended by users looking for effective vocabulary support and fast translations in multiple languages.
Pros
- Very helpful and useful for language learning and translation.
- Provides context-aware translation for more accurate meanings, especially for phrasal verbs.
- Easy and straightforward to use, preferred by many users over other translators.
- Enables quick word look-up without having to open separate tools or tabs.
- Supports multiple languages and aids vocabulary learning through contextual examples.
Cons
- Does not support translating highlighted text directly; users must copy and paste text to translate.
- Lacks offline service functionality, which users desire.
- No integrated access to synonyms or conjugations within the extension; requires opening a new tab.
- Reported functionality issues or bugs causing the extension not to work for some users.

The only thing lacking is not having
an option to avoid the extra clicks
& have a double click or highlight
show an immediate translation :(

Bob Loucks, 2025-04-25This extension and different one called "Multilanguage Translator" are the EXACT same extension. Same layout, gui, options. Yet they're developed by different people. I guess one is stealing from the other?
In any case these didn't fit my usage. I want to translate highlighted text on a page and these can't do that. I have to copy the text, click the toolbar button and paste to translate. Too simple for me.
