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.

For more information, including the changelog and credits, please refer to the provided GitHub links.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
