Is WhatsApp Translator safe?
WhatsApp Translator sends WhatsApp messages and Ctrl+Enter draft text to Google Translate.
When the extension runs on WhatsApp, it reads visible chat message text for translation. If you press Ctrl+Enter in a WhatsApp message box, it also reads that draft text and sends it to Google Translate for translation.
