Three things to know, three minutes to learn: full-page translation, select-to-translate, and bilingual YouTube subtitles.

Full-page translation

Translate an entire page in place, with the layout left intact.

1

Open any foreign-language page

Nothing to configure after installing — just open the page you want to read.

2

Click the extension icon and choose “Translate this site”

You can also press Alt+Q, or right-click the page and choose “Translate this site” — all three do the same thing.

3

Translations replace the original in place

Trigger it again to switch back. The site is remembered, so it translates automatically next time you visit.

Select to translate

When you only need one sentence, selecting it is enough.

1

Select a sentence with your mouse

On any foreign-language page, drag-select the sentence you cannot read, just as you normally would.

2

Release the mouse and pause briefly

After about 0.3 seconds the translation appears right below your selection — no button to click.

3

Change the trigger or turn it off

In the extension settings you can disable select-to-translate, or require a tap of Alt after selecting.

Bilingual YouTube subtitles

Original and translated lines shown together while you watch.

1

Open a YouTube video and turn subtitles on

Click the CC button in the player to confirm the video has a subtitle track.

2

Click the aha button in the player

It sits in the control bar at the bottom right of the player, next to CC.

3

Choose “Bilingual” or “Translation only”

Bilingual stacks the original above the translation; pick the second option for translation alone. You can switch it off any time.
