An extension, often referred to as an add-on or plug-in, is a software tool designed to customize a browser by incorporating specific functionalities. These plug-ins enable automatic and instant translations of online content. This article will provide an overview of various extensions available for translating webpages in your browser.
ImTranslator
ImTranslator offers standard translations for web pages and online documents, along with a helpful Back Translation feature. This allows you to translate text, make edits, and then translate it back to check the accuracy of your modifications. You can opt to translate an entire webpage or use a popup bubble to translate individual words or short phrases.
Lingvanex
Supporting 127 languages, Lingvanex lets you quickly translate single words from foreign text, aiding in memorization. It also includes a text-to-speech function. Additionally, Lingvanex can translate entire web pages, and it is capable of translating text found in images or graphical elements on the page.
Quick Translator
To translate a specific word or phrase, simply highlight it on the page, and the Quick Translator option will appear in the popup menu for you to select. This extension is particularly effective for quickly obtaining translations while reading online.
Rememberry
If you come across a challenging word while reading a foreign language text, you can save it in Rememberry. The tool will generate flashcards based on the saved words for later review. Rememberry also features a text-to-speech option to help you hear the pronunciation of certain foreign words.
TransOver
For a quick translation of a single word on a foreign language webpage, TransOver allows you to hover your cursor over the word, causing the translation to appear on the screen. Users can adjust the hover delay, giving them time to attempt to decipher the word before the translation is displayed. TransOver also includes a text-to-speech feature.
