Also available: - text-to-speech - reverse translate: from your own language to the language of your choice - type and translate in a popup - copy translation to clipboard SECURITY EXPLAINED "Your data on all websites": TransOver should be able to read any word on a page - "Your data ..." - in order to translate it. On any website you want it working - "... on all websites". 100% CLEAN Softpedia award - https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Internet-Applications-Addons/Chrome-Extensions/TransOver.shtml#status There is also a Firefox version: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/transover-ff/ CHANGELOG 1.74 - Better popup positioning 1.73 - When reverse translating, tts now speaks "target" language, as opposed to the "source" one 1.72 - Fix double translation (flicker) when translating selection 1.71 - Make tts great again - Add more languages 1.70 - Fix for google translate api changes 1.69 - Add 'Disable everywhere' toggle 1.68 - Upgrade Google Analytics from UA to GA4 1.67 - Fix "only show when key pressed" having no effect in some cases 1.66 - Fix not working on youtube.com 1.65 - Fix typo in the api fallback 1.64 - Prevent Chrome page translation tool from translating popup (see https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/17256; thanks https://github.com/dotdioscorea) 1.63 - Fix remember language in "type and translate" popup being scoped to a particular site 1.62 - Fix translation popup sometimes not appearing 1.61 - Remember language options in "type and trasnlate" popup - Fix double translation popup showing in certain scenarious 1.60 - Remove unnecessary required "tabs" permission. 1.59 - Re-enable clients5 API (it magically started working again). But keep the fallback to rate limited API in case it breaks again. 1.58 - Fix "not working on youtube" 1.57 - Fix usage tracking - Show error in the popup when google translate API rate limit is hit 1.56 - Better usage tracking (to see how many people hit Google Translate API rate limit) - Fix chrome build (production webpack generates invalid UTF-8 build) - this time for real 1.55 - Fix chrome build (production webpack generates invalid UTF-8 build) 1.54 - Fix API url 1.52 - Works on Firefox (involved numerous cleanups) 1.49 - Show translated noun gender where applicable 1.48 - Fix hover menus closing unintentionally 1.47 - Add ability to configure font size 1.46 - remove youtube fix - it seems to be no longer required 1.45 - fix not working on youtube 1.44 - make "translate into" field look more like a required field - fix occasional exception showing up in dev tools 1.43 - Add "disable on this page" checkbox to type-and-translate popup. - Changing options no longer requires to reload pages. - Fix web components deprecation warnings. 1.42 - Change google translate API url. The old one seems to be getting blocked more and more. 1.41 - Fix regression. T&T popup wasn't showing translation. 1.40 - Optionally show "translated from" language in a popup.

By not using html imports, since Chrome appears to be buggy in that respect. 1.30 - fix selection translation appearing in the corner - fix "letter-spacing" parent style leaking into the popup - dismiss popup on scroll 1.29 - new icon - slower tts - inner refactoring: iframes -> web components 1.28 - use Speech Synthesis API for text-to-speech 1.27 - add "from" to type-and-translate popup - don't use chrome.tts.

Fixed. 0.17 - ignore mouse 'noise' movements (so popup does not flicker) - enable 'delay' option only when 'translate by point at word' and not 'shift only' - fixed unescaped html. again. 0.16 - 'translate by click' option added - fixed performance issue on pages with large text nodes 0.12 - selection translation popup no longer shows up anywhere on the page (#17) 0.11 - updated available languages 0.10 - gotten rid of calls to Google Translate API (since it is deprecated) 0.9 - proper cased (as opposed to always lower case) translation (#16) - make sure translation popup doesn't get out of the window (#14) 0.8 - more prominent translation popup (#13) - no longer attempts to translate selection in text inputs (#12) 0.7 - translation no longer changes styles of underlying text (#11). Thanks to Dmitriy Kostikov for pointing in the right direction 0.6 - no more explicit 'translate from' option - autodetect is good enough. Also fixes #8 - fixed: erases closing tag on html/xml listing (#6) - fixed: part of speech is now bold on every page (#9) 0.5 - text selection translate (#4) - fixed: drops text selection (#7) 0.4 - report translation fail. As opposed to simply not showing anything to user - hide translation on page scroll - prompt user to choose target language, in case it isn't set. Useful for new installs - source language is now a configurable option (defaults to 'autodetect') - translation delay is now configurable option - remove "don't translate from these languages" option - gotten rid of explicit api call to detect language. Turns out dictionary api can do it itself. - popup fadeIn/fadeOut. As opposed to hide/show 0.3 - reduced delay before translation start

God awful! What's the deal with these translator extensions and their misleading ads? They all claim they have a pop-up menu on the fly but NOPE; none of them have it, this one following the rule rather than the exception. I miss Google Translate...

It is a Russian made extension. It manipules the translation if the text is critical with the Russian government. SHOCKING!!!

I do not knw what happened to this extension, but lately Transover has gone downhill and does NOT work in any Chromium based browser. I keep reinstalling the addon every time I need it to use. Please, fix the glitch!

It is very bad that after ~20 requests for translation, it gives the error "Too many requests, will retry in 30 minutes". This makes the app useless.

The application is not working and the developer has not solved the problem for days. You report the problem to Google. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/report/aggiiclaiamajehmlfpkjmlbadmkledi?hl=en-US&gl=TR

Loved the app, but had to delete it because of constant crashing lately. I'm using Mate Translate now - it seems to be a good alternative: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mate-translate-–-translat/ihmgiclibbndffejedjimfjmfoabpcke

After reading a few of the reviews I thought this would be a great extension, but I tried different things and still couldn't get it to work. Chrome will translate pages on it's own, which I can get to work for what I need I guess, but I was really wanting this extension to work. I couldn't get it to do anything at all...

I used to use this application and it worked fine - however recently the permissions were changed and it now wants ALL of my browsing activity on ALL websites plus all browsing history and tabs. If it worked perfectly fine before WITHOUT access to private data like this, why does it suddenly need it? Shouldn't the author explain? I'm happy to trust Facebook with some private data since it is a large, public company that is under constant scrutiny from the press and policymakers so it is unlikely that it will abuse my data. I have no idea who the author of this app is and have no confidence (nor should you) that he/she will not abuse your data.

There's a "bug" so it only works if you allow access on all sites. When using Access-when-clicked or allow-per-site, the hovers don't come up.
