Writing Translator

About

**Writing Translator** helps you write in a language you're not fluent in. Type in your native language inside any text field on any website, then translate it in place — no copy-pasting into a separate tab required.

**Two ways to translate**

**Right-click menu**
Type your text in any input, textarea, or editable field. Right-click, choose "Translate text," pick a language from the list, and the text is translated in place — instantly. Works on the whole field or just a selected portion of it.

**Instant Translator icon**
A small icon appears right inside the text field you're focused on. Set your input and output languages once (e.g. Portuguese → English) in the settings page, and from then on a single click translates the entire field between those two languages — perfect for chats, emails, forms, and social posts.

**Built to stay out of your way**
- The icon lives inside the field itself, not a fixed corner of the page — no visual clutter, no floating buttons that follow you around.
- Feedback happens on the icon itself (a spinner while translating, a checkmark on success, an alert on error) — no popups or banners interrupting your page.
- Choose exactly which languages show up in your right-click menu from the settings page, so it only lists the ones you actually use.

**Works everywhere**
Compatible with regular inputs, textareas, and rich-text (contenteditable) fields — so it works across webmail, chat apps, social media, forms, CMS editors, and more.

**Privacy**
Writing Translator does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Text you choose to translate is sent only to Google Translate's public translation endpoint for the sole purpose of returning a translation, and your language/menu preferences are stored locally in your browser (via Chrome's sync storage) — never on any third-party server we control.
