Is Google Translate safe?
Google Translate sends selected page text to softnour.com for premium AI translation.
When you select text on a webpage, the content script can show a translation button. If the premium AI translation option is selected, it sends the selected text, source language, and target language in a request URL to softnour.com/Services/translate.php.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

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.
