Simple Translate
Description from store

When you select text, the translation button pops up and the translation is displayed instantly.
If you enable "Do not display the button if translation is not required" option, you will not get frustrated by the button appearing when it is not necessary.

In the toolbar popup, translate the input text in real time.
If you enable "Automatically switch to the second language" option, you can do : When English is input, it is translated into Japanese, and when Japanese is input, it is translated into English.

You can also translate from the context menu.
You can select "Translate this page", "Translate selected text", and "Translate selected link" from the menu on the page or tab.

Supports Google Translate and DeepL API.

Very good, you can select and translate automatically and also very customable! Thanks a lot for that tool! really appreciate it!
Ahmed Aldaramlly
While it's really fast, the translation quality becomes poor, and the longer the paragraph, the poorer the quality. [Tried English -> Arabic]
Lucas Nunes Garcia
Simple, easy and effective. Nothing more, nothing less.

While using Google Translate API translation quality is much worse than what I get directly on translate.google.com

Simple Greatest...

It was great but now doesn't work, showing this error: Error: Service usage limit reached. Please wait a while and try again. Open in Google Translate
Maks Petrushko
Light and easy, doesn't distract at all.

I have been using this extension with the Google Translate API selected. Recently, I noticed that its translations were poor. When I compared its translations to the original Google Translate, I found that the original extension performs well, while this one does not.

I love this extension, but... Since a couple of years ago it does not work alongside our local gantt chart planning web server. :( Whenever I press the "Print" button and the Print Preview opens for 0.5 seconds and closes. This happens both in Chrome and Brave browsers. My whole work is through this page and I often have to print, so I cant use both at the same time. I dont know other pages that allow me to print from them so I can try and see if it also does not work.

Best translate extension, better than the official one from Google. It works, it is simple and has great automations in the settings.
László Zsidi
Huh, very good and this is what I was looking for!
Mahmoud Hassan

Worked with Google Translate, but failed on DeepL. Google Translate is still being used even if DeepL API is selected and key is provided.

Perfect UI, highly customizable.

Began to lash. The translations are not correct. As if he was translating. At the same time, Google with the translation is all in order. ------------------ Спустя 2 года поменял мнение. Пока один из лучших вариантов. Лаги как то сами собой пропали ------------------ The application is excellent, but after 10-30 minutes of work, google bans access to the translation, and the application becomes useless. You have to wait an hour for the application to work again. Timing settings don't help. By the degree of text input, automatic translation becomes meaningless, since the application sends many requests and Google decides to ban access to the translation for an indefinite time. I will change the review if the problem is resolved

Really convenient way to translate without opening a new tab. Using it all the time
Michael Yurin
Great extension! I use it a lot. It could be even better if it has a button for listening to the word. Please, consider adding this feature!
Mathias Mann
Great extension. Been using it for years. Only which is that it contained an option to display the languages's names.
Bartek Bury
The ABSOLUTE BEST TRANSLATION EXTENSION [quickest/easiest/simplest/minimal/lightweight], hands-down. literally, every single other translation extension is utter garbage in comparison. I've been using it for years. In days prior, for some odd and unannounced reason, this particular extension had been silently removed/uninstalled from my browser. When searching for the extension in order to reinstall it, it was buried deep in the list of results, whereupon I had to install 5 doppelganger manure-tier extensions (all bloated and cumbersome, yet with such high ratings), before I had finally found this wonderfully engineered masterpiece of utilitarian minimalism. (it's the auto-popup translation that makes this extension numero uno)

Wonderful extension! I highly recommend!

Legend, I rely on this so so much! Thank you!
Dan Rotaru
Great, waiting for manifest v3. Upd. Thank you:), changed from 4 to 5 stars
Dan Rotaru
Great extension. Can you please add possibility to customize it by yourself by writing custom CSS. Basic config is good, but not enough, will be better if users can by themself modify design for Translation panel. Thank you :)
Jeferson Alves Ferreira
Very good.
David Wolf
perfect
Cem Kuzey
Best translate extension for Google Chrome.
Stu D
Worked great for a long time, recently the pop up logic seems to be broken for longer sentences, it doesn't respect the "switch to secondary language" option and just shows the same language in the popup as I've highlighted. Hope this bug is fixed, but still its free so its hard to complain
Raisul
It works great on some sites, but on others, it just doesn't show up. Super annoying!
Adrian Fox
I regularly get a German gardening mail from a German seed company. It is very lengthy and wordy and my other translator just refuses to do this. I am so pleased to find that this program actually produces a high quality translation but does it almost instantly. I look forward to using it with other languages too but so far I am very impressed. Well done for creating it. Using it in Brave.

really it's simple and cool

I've been using this ext for 3 year. Very helpful and needed addon. Simple, function, flexible. Tnx a lot! Cool!

好用,现在deepL的浏览器插件似乎需要pro账户了,这个插件作为替代方案已经不错了。

SUGGESTIONS! Please Add Options when "HOVER mouse Tooltip" it will automatically Translate. That's the easy way instead of *Highlighting AND click* the I con that's frustrating.

Perfect. I'm sure I'm not using all the features of this extension. But the implementation of instant translation of selected text is great. Thank you.
