Quick Translate

Select text and press Shift to translate it instantly. Listen to it, save words and review them as flashcards.

Translate any text on a web page instantly: select it, press Shift, and the translation appears right next to your selection. HOW IT WORKS • Select text on any page and press Shift. A small bubble shows the translation, dictionary entries, definitions and example sentences. • Click the speaker button in the bubble to hear the original text read aloud. • Prefer typing? Click the Quick Translate icon or press Ctrl+Q (Control+Q on Mac) to open the translation box. If text is selected on the page, it is translated as soon as the box opens. • Supports nearly 60 languages, with automatic language detection. MEMORIZE WORDS Turn on the Reminder in the options and a save button appears under every translation. Saved words come back as a small flashcard on the pages you browse, at an interval you choose (1–180 minutes). Mark each one as known (+) or not yet (−), or remove it (x). Words you struggle with come back more often. You can drag the card anywhere on the screen, and it remembers its place. SIMPLE OPTIONS • Destination language: the language you want translations in. • Source language: leave it on auto detect (recommended) or force a specific language. • Ignore inputs/textareas: on by default, so pressing Shift while typing in a form doesn't open a translation. • Reminder on/off and reminder interval. GOOD TO KNOW • Tabs that were already open when you installed or updated the extension need to be refreshed once. • You can change the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. • Selected text is sent to Google Translate to be translated. Nothing else leaves your browser: saved words are stored on your computer, and your settings are synced with your Chrome account. • This extension is not affiliated with Google.
