Description
Instantly translates text you select on any web page into 4 languages. Supports Google and Microsoft Translator. PolyglotSelect shows the text you select on any webpage in up to 4 languages at the same time — instantly. Select any text and PolyglotSelect automatically detects the source language and translates it into up to 4 target languages at once, side by side. No copy-pasting into another tab, no switching windows. KEY FEATURES - Translate into 4 languages simultaneously, from and to 72 languages (availability depends on the translation service) - Automatic language detection, or set the source language manually - Multiple translation services — free options built in, plus support for connecting your own API key - Text-to-speech: listen to any translation using your device's offline voices, a free online voice, or your own API key for premium voices - On-page speak button: hear the selected text read aloud in any of your 4 languages - Pause/resume and stop shortcuts for reading aloud - Built-in dictionary lookup - Grammatical gender coloring for German, French and Spanish - Floating translate button on selection - Configurable keyboard shortcuts to open the panel or a separate window - Works as an in-page panel or a separate window - Full interface available in 12 languages, including right-to-left language support - Dark and light themes - Adjustable fonts for the panel and the window independently WARNING Grammatical gender coloring may sometimes color words incorrectly. This feature is still under development. In the "When to translate on selection" setting, choosing "Automatic" translates everything you select right away, which can quickly use up your daily translation quota. We recommend "Hold Shift" instead — it only translates when you hold Shift while selecting. "Hold Ctrl" works the same way, and the "Show a translation button" option only translates when you click the button — both save your quota just as effectively. PRIVACY PolyglotSelect only sends the text you select to the services you choose: your translation service, your text-to-speech service (when you use an online voice; offline device voices send nothing), and the dictionary service (when you look up a word). No browsing history is collected or stored. Recent translations and audio are cached only in your browser's temporary memory and are cleared when you close the browser. SUPPORT THE PROJECT PolyglotSelect is built and maintained independently. If you find it useful, you can support development with a small donation on Patreon or in crypto (USDT) — see the buttons inside the extension.
