Context Translator by Ulyana

The extension automatically detects the language of selected text on a webpage and shows its translation, transcription, a contextual translation of the full sentence or paragraph, and audio in the original language. Open the translator instantly with a keyboard shortcut.

WHAT IS IT FOR?

1) Instantly translate unfamiliar words or entire sentences. Select text and get a translation. There is no need to copy it, open a new tab, and look for a translator or dictionary.

2) Translate your own text without leaving the current tab. Press a keyboard shortcut to open a pop-up translator and type or paste text.

3) Learn languages in context. When reading in another language, quickly check an unfamiliar word and keep reading. Save the word together with the context in which it appeared, without interrupting your reading to build a vocabulary list.

4) Build your own vocabulary. Automatically save useful information and export it to a file for making a vocabulary list or study materials.

The extension does not sell user data or use it for advertising, credit decisions, or purposes unrelated to its core features. You can delete individual entries or clear your history in the extension. To remove all history, settings, and local cache, uninstall the extension or clear its data using your browser.
