★★★★☆ Garcia · 13 Sep 2025Very useful, but from around three months ago, the translate is very simple. For that reason, 4 stars now. * For those that said that does not work, probably needed refresh the page after the extension was installed.

★★☆☆☆ Oliver · 9 Sep 2023I can't open the extension. Clicking it highlights the box but nothing happens. As Milo said, may as well open a new tab. Not helpful.

★★★★★ Hobbs, · 9 Jun 2020It is easy to use. Select text in a foreign language. A small button appears below it. Click it and the translated text appears as a tool tip next to the original text. Click anywhere on the page or press escape and it vanishes. There is also a right-click menu with more options but translate the entire page doesn't work if the page is on a company's intranet. It sends the URL to a google server that can't access it. Not a big deal as this is not a feature I need since Edge already does page translation.

How these figures are measured
Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
