Is Double Click Translate - Instant Translation, Dictionary & PDF Support safe?
Double Click Translate sends selected page text to Google Translate and translator.dbclick.cx for translation.
When select-to-translate or double-click translation is enabled, the extension runs on all pages and reads the text you highlight outside input fields. It sends that selected text as a translation query to Google Translate, and if that request fails it falls back to translator.dbclick.cx.
