When viewing pages from foreign sites in an Internet browser, it becomes difficult to understand, especially if the language is unfamiliar or knowledge is limited.

Therefore, it is best to use the Google Chrome browser, which can translate pages automatically.

How to translate a page on a computer

When you enter a foreign resource whose language does not match the one set in your Google Chrome browser settings, an automatic message appears in the upper right corner of the screen asking you to translate the page.

To confirm this action, you need to click on the transfer button.
This message will appear on every page of the site. If you return to the previous page, which has already been translated, the action will need to be repeated, since the information is not saved in Chrome.

Translation settings can be configured manually, which will allow you to view pages in any languages ​​that Google Chrome supports. In order to change automatic translation settings directly on the page you need to:

• “Never translate” means that if there is a given language used on the site, google chrome will not offer translation.
• “Never translate this site” – when you click on this tab, you can save information in your browser settings that when visiting any page of this site, translation is not needed.
• “Always translate” means that when you visit any site where this language will be used, automatic translation will be performed without necessarily clicking on the tab in the message.

In addition to this method, it is possible to configure without visiting foreign pages. To do this, you can set your settings in the Google Chrome settings, which will allow you to select an action for any required number of languages ​​at a time. To configure you need:

How to translate a page on Android

When visiting a site with an unfamiliar interface language from a device running Android OS, a message about automatic translation will appear below, just like when working on a computer. To configure it you need:

If after performing these manipulations the translation still does not occur, then you need to re-login to Google Chrome. If this action does not help solve the problem, then you need to clear your browser cache, browsing history and cookies, which will allow you to use the new settings on all pages.

How to translate a page on an iOS device

It is also possible to set up the Google Chrome translation function on devices running iOS. To set up automatic translation you need to:

• Go to the “Settings” tab
• Select the subcategory “Content Settings”
• Click on the “Google Translate” button.
• Enable translation function.
• Click the “Finish” button to save the selected parameters.

Thus, you can quickly edit the browser actions when visiting any foreign Internet page, regardless of what device you are using. This allows you not to confirm the action every time, which will significantly speed up the work and ease of browsing sites.

Users who actively use the Internet often end up on sites with content in a foreign language. It is not always convenient to copy text and translate it through a special service or program, so a good solution would be to enable automatic translation of pages or add an extension to the browser. Today we will talk in detail about how to do this in the popular web browser Google Chrome.

A content translation feature has been added to the browser by default, but it does not always work correctly. In addition, the store also contains an official add-on from Google, which allows you to instantly translate text into the required language. Let's look at these two tools, tell you how to install, enable and configure them correctly.

Method 1: Enable the built-in translation feature

Most users want all site content immediately translated into their native language, so an in-browser tool is best for this. If it does not work, this does not mean that it is missing, it just needs to be activated and the correct parameters must be set. This is done like this:

Now you just need to restart your web browser and you will always receive notifications about a possible transfer. If you want this offer to be shown only for certain languages, follow these steps:

You can configure the function in question directly from the notification window. Do the following:

This is where we finished looking at the standard tool, we hope everything was clear and you could easily figure out how to use it. If notifications do not appear, we recommend clearing your browser cache to make it work faster. You will find detailed instructions on this topic in our other article at the link below.

Method 2: Installing the Google Translate add-on

Now let's look at the official extension from Google. Just like the function discussed above, it translates the contents of pages, but it also has additional capabilities. For example, you can work with a selected piece of text or translate via the active line. Adding Google Translator is done like this:

Actions with fragments deserve special attention. If you only need to work with one piece of text, do the following:

Almost every user needs translation of text on the Internet. As you can see, organizing it using a built-in tool or extension is quite easy. Select the appropriate option, follow the instructions, and then you can immediately begin working comfortably with the content of the pages.

The Internet is an area of ​​life for which there are no borders between states. Sometimes you have to look through materials from foreign sites in search of useful information. It's good when you know foreign languages. But what if your linguistic knowledge is at a rather low level? In this case, special programs and add-ons for translating web pages or individual pieces of text help. Let's find out which translator extensions are the best for the Opera browser.

But first, let's find out how to install the translator.

All add-ons for translating web pages are installed using approximately the same algorithm, just like other extensions for the Opera browser. First of all, go to the official Opera website, to the add-ons section.

There we search for the required extension by translation. After we have found the required element, we go to the page of this extension and click on the big green “Add to Opera” button.

After a short installation procedure, you can use the installed translator in your browser.

Best extensions

Now let's take a closer look at the extensions that are considered the best Opera browser add-ons for translating web pages and testing.

Google Translate

One of the most popular add-ons for online text translation is Google Translator. It can translate both web pages and individual pieces of text pasted from the clipboard. At the same time, the add-on uses the resources of Google’s service of the same name, which is one of the leaders in the field of electronic translation and provides the most correct results, which not every similar system can do. The Opera browser extension, like the service itself, supports a huge number of translation directions between different languages ​​of the world.

You should start working with the Google Translator extension by clicking on its icon in the browser toolbar. In the window that opens, you can enter text and perform other manipulations.

The main disadvantage of the add-on is that the size of the processed text should not exceed 10,000 characters.

Translate

Another popular addition to the Opera browser for translation is the Translate extension. It, like the previous extension, is integrated with the Google translation system. But, unlike Google Translate, Translate does not install its own icon in the browser toolbar. Simply, when you go to a site whose language differs from the one set as “native” in the extension settings, a frame appears asking you to translate this web page.

But this extension does not support translating text from the clipboard.

Translator

Unlike the previous extension, the Translator add-on can not only translate a web page as a whole, but also translate individual text fragments on it, as well as translate text from the operating system clipboard pasted into a special window.

Among the advantages of the extension is that it supports work not with one online translation service, but with several at once: Google, Yandex, Bing, Promt and others.

Yandex.Translate

As it is not difficult to determine by its name, the Yandex.Translate extension bases its work on the online translator from the Yandex company. This add-on translates by hovering the cursor over a foreign word, by highlighting it, or by pressing the Ctrl key, but, unfortunately, it cannot translate entire web pages.

After installing this add-on, the “Find in Yandex” item is added to the browser context menu when any word is selected.

XTranslate

The XTranslate extension, unfortunately, also cannot translate individual pages of sites, but it is capable of translating not only words, but even text on buttons located on sites, input fields, links and images on hover. At the same time, the add-on supports working with three online translation services: Google, Yandex and Bing.

In addition, XTranslate can play text to speech.

ImTranslator

The ImTranslator add-on is a real translation machine. By integrating into Google, Bing and Translator translation systems, it can translate between 91 languages ​​of the world in all directions. The extension can translate both individual words and entire web pages. Among other things, this extension has a built-in full dictionary. It is possible to reproduce audio translations into 10 languages.

The main disadvantage of the extension is that the maximum amount of text that it can translate at one time does not exceed 10,000 characters.

We haven't talked about all the translation extensions used in the Opera browser. There are many more of them. But, at the same time, the add-ons presented above will be able to satisfy the needs of most users who need to translate web pages or text.

Surely you have more than once found useful materials on foreign resources, but not in Russian. If you are not a linguist, then you have to open Google Translator, copy articles there, and so on. All this can be made easier thanks to the Google Chrome Translator function of the browser, which will be discussed further.

Then you are wondering how to enable page translation in Google Chrome? It's simple, when you visit a site whose content is not in your native language, Chrome offers to translate it. You need to agree and the text will be automatically translated immediately.

1. Launch Google Chrome.

2. Open the Chrome menu.

3. There, go to the “Settings” section.

4. On the page that opens, scroll down with your mouse wheel and click on the inscription: “Advanced”.

6. Open the “Languages” block, activate the option “Offer translation of pages if their language differs from the one used in the browser” if it is disabled.

Conclusion

We hope you have studied our material well and can easily use the translator in the Google Chrome browser to translate the page. This is a very useful option, especially if you often surf sites on the Burzhunet (foreign Internet).

In addition to translation, LinguaLeo English Translator displays transcriptions of words and illustrations for them. The extension can voice original text using a speech synthesizer. It works best with individual words or phrases, showing multiple translation options. But he can also translate not too voluminous text fragments.

This translator is part of the online service LinguaLeo, which helps you learn English vocabulary. Therefore, LinguaLeo English Translator has one significant advantage. You can save highlighted words and phrases so that you can memorize them later using vocabulary cards and special exercises on the website or in the service’s applications. On the other hand, the extension only translates from English.

To see a window with the result, you can select the text and call LinguaLeo English Translator through the context menu. But if you need to translate one word, just double-click on it with the left mouse button. The extension also supports calling translation using hotkeys.

If you're not aware, Google Translate also has a Chrome extension. It supports many languages ​​and works well both with individual words, showing multiple translation options, and with long texts.

Google Translate detects the source language automatically (although not as accurately as we would like). Thanks to the built-in speech synthesizer, you can listen to approximate pronunciation of words.

Depending on the settings, the extension displays the translation immediately after one of the user actions: selecting text, clicking on the corresponding button on the toolbar, or clicking on the icon that appears next to the selected text.

Unlike other translators, the extension does not interpret phrases verbatim using algorithms. Instead, it searches the Web for ready-made translations made by people that are relevant to the query, and displays them as results. And since no algorithm understands context as well as a human, Reverso Context often beats its competitors when it comes to complex speech patterns.

The extension translates words and short phrases in a pop-up window. But if you select a lot of words, the application will redirect you to a separate website, where it will translate them using a regular online translator and without taking into account the context. Reverso Context supports more than 12 languages, including English and Russian, and is able to automatically detect the original language.

You can open a window with the translation of the selected word or phrase through the context menu. Reverso Context will then display the results along with usage examples. The extension can voice speech, stores the history of translations, and includes a dictionary in which you can save your favorite results to view them in applications or on the website

ImTranslator combines several translators: Google, Bing and its own. You can switch between them using three tabs that appear in a pop-up window. Thus, the user receives three different translations of the selected text at once.

ImTranslator recognizes and determines the original language automatically. The extension can voice speech, stores a history of results, and translates both individual words and phrases and long fragments of text.

You can call up a window with the translation of the desired words using hot keys (having previously assigned them in the settings) or the button that appears after selecting a fragment. To translate one word, just double-click on it with the mouse.
