Is Translate safe?
Translate sends user-selected text from any website to Google Translate when the translate icon is clicked.
Translate runs a content script on all websites and records the text you select. When you click its translate icon, it sends that selected text to Google Translate's API, and it also removes selected framing and Sec-Fetch headers from translate.google.com subframes through a browser request rule.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed 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.
