About Google Translate

Highlight or right-click on a section of text and click on Translate icon next to it to translate it to your language. Learn more about Google Translate at https://support.google.com/translate. By installing this extension, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies. UPDATE (v.2.0): Now you can highlight or right-click a text and translate it vs. translate the entire page. You can also change extension options to automatically show translation every time you highlight text. UPDATE (v.2.14+): Page translation is now supported natively in Chrome browsers and is no longer supported in the Google Translate extension. See https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424 to learn how to use it.
