When viewing pages from foreign sites in an Internet browser, it becomes difficult to understand, especially if the language is unfamiliar or knowledge is limited.
Therefore, it is best to use the Google Chrome browser, which can translate pages automatically.
How to translate a page on a computer
When you enter a foreign resource whose language does not match the one set in your Google Chrome browser settings, an automatic message appears in the upper right corner of the screen asking you to translate the page.
To confirm this action, you need to click on the transfer button. 
This message will appear on every page of the site. If you return to the previous page, which has already been translated, the action will need to be repeated, since the information is not saved in Chrome.
Translation settings can be configured manually, which will allow you to view pages in any languages that Google Chrome supports. In order to change automatic translation settings directly on the page you need to:
- “Never translate” means that if there is a given language used on the site, google chrome will not offer translation.
- “Never translate this site” – by clicking on this tab, you can save information in your browser settings that when visiting any page of this site, translation is not needed.
- “Always translate” means that when visiting any site where this language will be used, automatic translation will be performed without necessarily clicking on the tab in the message.
In addition to this method, it is possible to configure without visiting foreign pages. To do this, you can set your settings in the Google Chrome settings, which will allow you to select an action for any required number of languages at a time. To configure you need:
How to translate a page on Android
When you visit a site with an unfamiliar interface language from a device running Android OS, a message about automatic translation will appear below, just like when working on a computer. To configure it you need:
If after performing these manipulations the translation still does not occur, then you need to re-login to Google Chrome. If this action does not help solve the problem, then you need to clear your browser cache, browsing history and cookies, which will allow you to use the new settings on all pages.
How to translate a page on an iOS device
It is also possible to set up the Google Chrome translation function on devices running on iOS. 
To set up automatic translation you need to:
- Go to the “Settings” tab
- Select the subcategory “Content Settings”
- Click on the “Google Translate” button.
- Enable translation function.
- Click the “Finish” button to save the selected parameters.
Thus, you can quickly edit the browser actions when visiting any foreign Internet page, regardless of what device you are using. This allows you not to confirm the action every time, which will significantly speed up the work and ease of browsing sites.

For example, this is what it looks like for
Active Internet users often visit English-language sites in search of necessary information. In this case, it becomes necessary to use a translator to translate the existing text from English into Russian. Using special programs or online translators for such purposes is not entirely convenient.
It is much more convenient to download and install special extensions (plugins) for web browsers. For example, the popular Google Chrome browser can be equipped with the Google Translate add-on. After installing it, a special icon will appear in the upper right corner of the browser. You can download the Google Translate plugin for free for browsers such as Opera, Yandex browser, Mozilla and the like.
Thus, after visiting a web resource that contains text in English or any other popular language, the user will be automatically offered the operation of a complete translation of the text located on the site’s pages. The Google Translate translator will almost immediately produce a translated text into Russian.
All foreign text on a web page will be available to the user in the language that Google Chrome uses by default. The Google Translate extension is completely free and very popular.
When searching for the necessary content, Google often leads users to foreign sites, the text on which is impossible to read without knowing the language. This is where the built-in translation function comes to the rescue, helping a person navigate the site and at least roughly familiarize himself with the content. Of course, the translation obtained using the built-in function is far from ideal, but still this function is very necessary and useful. And if, in addition to approximately translation, you need other additional options, then it is better to use special extensions for text translation.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with several of the most popular and feature-rich translators that will make your life much easier when working on the Internet.
LinguaLeo English Translator
This is more than a regular translator. In addition to the standard text translation function, it has several additional ones. The extension has a built-in speech synthesizer that will allow the user to hear how the entire text or an unfamiliar word sounds in a foreign language. Of course, like most translators, LinguaLeo English Translator is much easier to deal with specific words or phrases than to translate the entire text at once or large passages. Therefore, translate large texts in parts.
This extension was developed by specialists from the LinguaLeo website, who help people who want to learn a foreign language on their own. If, while translating text using the extension, the user encounters unfamiliar words, he will be able to create special vocabulary cards for them and add them to special exercises on the site.
To translate the entire text, you will first have to select it, and then call the context menu and select the LinguaLeo English Translator function. If you only need to translate one word, then you just need to click on it twice with the left mouse button. The extension must be active.
The extension is very convenient to use, but it has one very big drawback. Translation is available only for texts in English. Therefore, if you often come across texts in other languages, it is better to look for another extension.
Google Translate
Millions of people visit the official Google Translate website every day. This is a very convenient resource with support for a huge number of languages and automatic detection of the text language. But if you have to use a translator often, then it is better to install a special “Google Translate” extension in your browser. It has the same functionality as on the resource itself, but it is much more convenient to use because you do not need to go to its official website every time.
Reverso Context
If you need a literary translation of a text that uses many literary translations, then it is better to use the Reverso Context extension. It does not use algorithms for translation, but searches existing human translations on the Internet. All possible translation results are shown in a new window. However, when selecting a large passage of text for translation, the extension will direct the user to a special site where the translation is already carried out using algorithms. Only the 12 most common languages are available for translation. The extension also has the functions of a speech synthesizer, storing translation history and adding selected words to the dictionary.
ImTranslator
An extension that combines the functions of three translators simultaneously: Google Translate, Bing and ImTranslator. Each of them has its own tab in the extension window, so it’s very convenient to navigate between services. With this extension you can get 3 translations of the same text at the same time, compare them and choose the one that turns out to be better. ImTranslator has support for 91 languages. You can translate both the entire text and individual words.
Xtranslate
The extension combines the translators of the three most popular search services: Google, Bing and Yandex. There is support for more than 100 languages and a translation function from PDF documents.
In addition to translation, LinguaLeo English Translator displays transcriptions of words and illustrations for them. The extension can voice original text using a speech synthesizer. It works best with individual words or phrases, showing multiple translation options. But he can also translate not too voluminous fragments of text.
This translator is part of the online service LinguaLeo, which helps you learn English vocabulary. Therefore, LinguaLeo English Translator has one significant advantage. You can save highlighted words and phrases so that you can memorize them later using vocabulary cards and special exercises on the website or in the service’s applications. On the other hand, the extension only translates from English.
To see the result window, you can select the text and call LinguaLeo English Translator through the context menu. But if you need to translate one word, just double-click on it with the left mouse button. The extension also supports calling translation using hotkeys.
If you're not aware, Google Translate also has a Chrome extension. It supports many languages and works well both with individual words, showing multiple translation options, and with long texts.
Google Translate detects the source language automatically (although not as accurately as we would like). Thanks to the built-in speech synthesizer, you can listen to approximate pronunciation of words.
Depending on the settings, the extension displays the translation immediately after one of the user actions: selecting text, clicking on the corresponding button on the toolbar, or clicking on the icon that appears next to the selected text.
Unlike other translators, the extension does not interpret phrases verbatim using algorithms. Instead, it searches the Web for ready-made translations made by people that are relevant to the query, and displays them as results. And since no algorithm understands context as well as a human, Reverso Context often beats the competition when it comes to complex speech patterns.
The extension translates words and short phrases in a pop-up window. But if you select a lot of words, the application will redirect you to a separate website, where it will translate them using a regular online translator and without taking into account the context. Reverso Context supports more than 12 languages, including English and Russian, and is able to automatically detect the original language.
You can open a window with the translation of the selected word or phrase through the context menu. Reverso Context will then display the results along with usage examples. The extension can voice speech, stores the history of translations and includes a dictionary in which you can save your favorite results to view them in applications or on the website
ImTranslator combines several translators: Google, Bing and its own. You can switch between them using three tabs that are displayed in a pop-up window. Thus, the user receives three different translations of the selected text at once.
ImTranslator recognizes and determines the original language automatically. The extension can voice speech, stores a history of results, and translates both individual words and phrases and long fragments of text.
You can call up a window with the translation of the desired words using hot keys (having previously assigned them in the settings) or the button that appears after selecting a fragment. To translate one word, just double-click on it with the mouse.
