Translate Bar: Google Translate Sidebar

About

Translate Bar: Google Translate Sidebar & Selection Translator

Translate any text you select — or the entire page — using Google Translate, shown instantly in a clean sidebar or opened in a new tab or window. No copy-pasting into translate.google.com, no tab-switching.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Select any text on a webpage. A small floating "Translate" button appears next to your selection.
2. Click the button (or right-click and choose "Translate with Google Translate") to translate instantly.
3. The translation opens in a slide-in sidebar on the right — showing the original and the translation side by side.
4. Click the side handle anytime to reopen the sidebar with your last translation.
5. To translate the whole page, use the keyboard shortcut or toolbar popup to open Google Translate for the current URL.

PRIVACY
