Is Contextual translator safe?
Contextual translator opens Google Translate with selected text embedded in the page URL.
When you choose its context-menu translation action, Contextual translator sends the text you selected on the page to Google Translate by opening a translate.google.com URL containing that text. This can include text from page content or form fields if that is what you selected.
