Is Translate Web Pages safe?
Translate Web Pages sends page text, form labels, and selected text from translated sites to Google Translate by default.
When you translate a page, the extension collects visible text plus title, placeholder, alt, value, and title attributes and sends them to the configured translation service. With the default Google service, those requests go to translate-pa.googleapis.com; selected page text and selected text/search input contents are sent the same way when you use selected-text translation.
