1. Install and pin
Install One Translate from the Chrome Web Store. Open the extensions menu and pin the icon so it stays on the toolbar.
2. Choose languages
Open the in-page bar from the toolbar icon. Set the language you want to read. Leave the source on auto unless you already know the language. Set a second language for the case when the text is already in your target.
3. Translate selected text
Highlight a phrase on a normal web page. Use the selection control, the context menu, or the keyboard command to translate without leaving the tab.
4. Translate the whole page
When you need the full article, turn on page translate from the bar. Switch back to the original when you are done comparing.
5. Type or paste in the bar
Paste a short paragraph into the bar when selection is awkward. Copy the result, listen when speech is available, and reopen recent pairs from history.
Pages Chrome will not allow
Chrome blocks extensions on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store listing, and some other restricted URLs. Use a normal http or https page instead.
