Translate Selected Text for Google Chrome

Translate Selected Text

Translate Selected Text is a Chrome extension developed by Adrià Vilanova Martínez. This free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.

The main feature of this extension is the ability to translate selected text using Google Translate. Once installed, simply select text from a website, right-click, and choose the desired language for translation.

One key advantage of Translate Selected Text is that it does not prompt the user for permissions, ensuring that it does not access the content of web pages or monitor user activity like other similar extensions. It only has access to the selected text when the user clicks the extension context menu, which is used to create a Google Translate app with the text autocompleted.

Furthermore, this extension allows users to configure the languages they want to display in the context menu directly from the options page.

Translate Selected Text is now open source, allowing users to check out the source code, contribute, and report bugs in the GitHub repository. Bugs and feature suggestions can be reported on the respective GitHub page.

Please note that Google Translate is a trademark of Google Inc. and the use of this trademark is subject to Google Permissions.

For those interested in testing the latest version of the extension, a Beta version is available on the Chrome Web Store. The stable version is thoroughly tested to ensure a bug-free experience.
