Translate Online for Google Chrome™ — Fast, private, one-click translation

Translate Online is the lightweight way to translate selected or typed text with Google Translate — right inside your browser, without losing your place on the page. It started as a simple right-click translator and has grown into a complete, privacy-first translation workspace, while keeping the tiny footprint people loved in the first place. No accounts. No sign-in. No data collection.

This is the biggest update in the extension's history. Here's everything that's new.

— INSTANT INLINE TRANSLATION — Type or paste text in the toolbar popup and see the translation appear instantly, side by side, in a clean two-pane layout. No new tabs, no page jumps, no waiting. The result shows up the moment you press Translate, complete with a loading shimmer so you always know it's working.

— PICK YOUR LANGUAGES (FINALLY) — Choose your source and target languages from a searchable picker covering 100+ languages. Just start typing a language name to filter the list instead of scrolling forever. Your most-used languages are pinned under "Recent" for one-click access. Leave the source on Auto-detect and the extension shows you exactly what it found: "Detected: English → Spanish." A one-tap Swap button flips the pair instantly.

— TRANSLATE FROM ANYWHERE — • Right-click any selected text on any page and choose "Translate this Text." • Open the toolbar popup to type or paste. • Press Alt+Shift+T to open the popup from your keyboard (the shortcut is customizable). • Turn on the optional in-page bubble to get a small translate button right next to text you select on a web page — translation appears in place, no popup needed.

— LISTEN TO PRONUNCIATIONS — Tap the Listen button to hear your translation spoken aloud with built-in text-to-speech. Perfect for language learners and anyone checking how a word actually sounds.

— HISTORY & FAVORITES — Every translation is saved to a tidy History tab so you can revisit, reuse, or copy past results without retyping. Star the phrases you need often and they move to a dedicated Favorites tab. History and Favorites live in convenient tabs so the popup stays compact. Everything is stored locally on your device — nothing is uploaded.

— ONE-CLICK COPY & QUICK ACTIONS — Copy any result with a single click; the button morphs into a checkmark so you get instant confirmation right where you clicked. Reuse, delete, and favorite controls sit next to each entry.

— CHOOSE WHERE THINGS OPEN — Decide how right-click translations behave: reuse a single translation window (no more window clutter), open a fresh window each time, or open in a new tab. The extension intelligently reuses one window so your screen stays clean.

— A FASTER, FRIENDLIER WORKFLOW — We rebuilt the popup around how people actually translate: • The text box is focused the moment the popup opens — start typing immediately. • Press Ctrl/⌘ + Enter to translate without reaching for the mouse. • A clear (×) button and live character counter keep long text manageable. • "Clear all" now asks for a quick confirmation so you never wipe your history by accident. • Clear, contextual error messages and an "Open in Google Translate" fallback if anything ever fails.

— LIGHT, DARK, OR SYSTEM THEME — Match your browser or your mood with System, Light, and Dark themes on the Options page, alongside default-language settings, open-in behavior, history controls, and the in-page bubble toggle.

— ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN — Screen-reader-friendly live regions announce results as they arrive, every icon button has a proper label, and clear keyboard focus styles make the whole popup easy to navigate without a mouse.

— PRIVATE BY DESIGN — This is what sets Translate Online apart. It installs with just the permissions it needs and collects nothing about you: • No accounts, no logins, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. • Your history, favorites, and settings stay on your device. • The in-page selection button is strictly opt-in — it only runs on pages after you explicitly grant permission. • Text is sent only to Google Translate to perform the translation you asked for — nothing else. • Tiny and fast: a fraction of the size of bulky "all-in-one" translators.

— WHY CHOOSE TRANSLATE ONLINE — Most translation extensions ask for sweeping permissions, bundle accounts and upsells, and bloat your browser. Translate Online does the opposite: it gives you genuine table-stakes features — language selection, inline results, history, favorites, text-to-speech, a keyboard shortcut, and an optional in-page bubble — while staying small, transparent, and free.

Install Translate Online and translate the web the simple, private way.
