Review summary

Reviews are mixed. The add-on is praised for translating streams and chats and is especially helpful for Japanese speakers, with some users noting auto-translation of all chats after the first translation. However, reliability is inconsistent, with multiple reports of translations not activating and several platform/browser compatibility problems. Some minor UI concerns and questions about Google Translate focus are also mentioned. Overall, it has clear value when functioning, but reliability and cross-site support are the main sticking points.

Pros

Provides live translations for streams and chats when it works.
Helpful for non-English speakers, especially Japanese.
After an initial translation, all subsequent chats auto-translate, easing follow-along.

Cons

Not working or translations failing to activate for many users and scenarios.
Compatibility issues across browsers and platforms (e.g., Zen Browser; Twitch vs YouTube).
