User Reviews

Users generally praise Linguist for accurate, broad-language translations (notably Khmer) and for helpful features like text-to-speech and a rich set of options. They value the convenience for learning, business communication, and reading web content, plus accessibility improvements. However, several repeat issues surface: some features (keyboard shortcut, pop-up translation) are unreliable or missing in current versions; translations can be inconsistent or nonsensical due to language-detection/direction problems; privacy concerns about requiring full-web access permission; and some users report performance or reliability problems on Firefox.

Pros

Strong overall translation quality across languages, with Khmer translations highlighted as particularly accurate.
Text-to-speech (TTS) support for translated text, helping with learning and accessibility.
Rich settings and convenient features that enhance workflow and usability.
Broad usefulness in real-world contexts (learning languages, business, and understanding web content).

Cons

Reliability issues with features: right-click availability and keyboard shortcut can be missing or unreliable, requiring toggling in the add-ons list.
Translation quality can be inconsistent or nonsensical at times, including problems with language detection/direction and incomplete sentences.
Privacy concern about the permission "Access your data for all websites" being requested, which may be unnecessary for current-page use.
Some users report Firefox-specific performance or reliability problems, with comparisons to better options.

Recent reviews

A wonderful extension that completely replaces heavy, default translators. It translates both individual words on hover and entire web pages. Runs incredibly fast and smoothly in Firefox. Big thanks to the developers for such high-quality software!
