Is Translator safe?

Clean risk

Translator sends selected page text to Google Translate when you use its translation button.

Translator runs a content script on all websites except Google Translate and shows a translation UI when you select text. When you request a translation, it reads the selected text, splits longer text into chunks, and sends each chunk to Google's Translate API with automatic source-language detection and your configured target language.

Where it sends data
