Is GoTranslate safe?
GoTranslate sends selected page text and form input to Google Translate to check language before translation.
When text is selected on a page or in a normal input field, GoTranslate checks the language before showing its translate button under default settings. That check sends up to the first 100 characters of the selected text to the Google Translate API.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed GoTranslate 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.
