Is Simple Translate safe?
Simple Translate reads selected page or form text and sends it to Google Translate for language checks and translation.
Simple Translate runs a content script on all pages and listens for mouseup after text selection, excluding password fields. With the default Google translation setting, it can send selected text, including non-password form input, to translate.googleapis.com to check the language and provide translations.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Simple 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.
