Is Google Translate safe?
Translates selected text from a webpage through Google Translate.
This extension lets you highlight or right-click a section of text and use a translate icon to translate it into your language. Its options can automatically show a translation whenever you highlight text. Page translation is no longer handled by the extension because Chrome supports it natively.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Google Translate contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
