This is the extension that allows you to translate text selected on any page and even more - it adds toolbar button that you can use for an easy access to the Google Transator. Actually it is a rewrited fork of the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/translate-selected-text/fbimffnjoeobhjhochngikepgfejjmgj .

Why fork? First of all to satisfy my requirements of the extension and very long answers on my proposals during which I was able to rewrite whole extension and add the required features.
Why it asks for a permissions to change 'translate.google.com'? Because original translator interface are overloaded with unnecessary components(header/footer) that doesn't need for quick translations imho. And more - with new 'chrome panels' existing of header/footer lead to scrolling every time translator was opened.
I found a bug or want some feature! Feel free to send issue or even more - pull request on github: https://github.com/sashasimkin/translate-selected-text2

User reviews

Every time a new translation is available, a popup window will be opened. This will affect the amount of RAM. You can improve this by overwriting an already existing pop up. Thank.

Great one! Please fix the bug where new lines from text fields are not preserved when pasted in the "From Language" text field of Google Translate. Thanks!
