Website Translation for Chrome

Everyone around the world can access the web, and it can be a pain to land on a page with content of interest without understanding a thing because it’s different from all languages you know. However, there are various ways to translate content on a page, and Website Translation for Chrome is dedicated to creating a proper translation for your website.

Needless to say that one of the main requirements here is Google Chrome, because it’s a dedicated extension. It instantly gets integrated without having to restart the browser, and you can start a translation session by simply clicking the Website Translation for Chrome button next to the URL field.

Any language can be selected as the target of translation. The application itself isn’t really fitted with dictionaries, but it does rely on Google Translate to provide accurate results. In other words, the program is a way through which you translate for others and not wait for an entire page to be translated for you.

Translation is done in a pretty neat editor. Once you start, the current web page is covered with a transparent layout, with selectable text strings and highlighted translations. You can use Google Translate in an attempt to get a quick or raw translation, but most effort is on your behalf if you want content to be not only accurate, but also properly written.

There’s also a full editor which displays all text strings in an organized, and clearer environment rather than on top of the active page. More than this, you can invite your friends to help you out with the translation, which is especially helpful in large teams.

In fact, the extension’s core feature is to provide a means of translating your own web page into one or more languages which can be accessed by the end-user. Whenever a session is over, changes can be submitted and in return you get the necessary Javascript code which can be inserted in your website’s head section to enable language selection for regular visitors.

To sum it up, Website Translation for Chrome is one of the tools you need to either expand the capabilities of your website or contribute to the expansion of others, at least when it comes to language availability. You can collaborate with others to properly translate a page, and even use online services to help out.
