Selected-text translate is the fastest path when you only need one sentence or a short label.
Steps
- Open a normal website (not a
chrome://page). - Highlight the phrase you want to understand.
- Use the selection control, the context menu item, or the keyboard command for One Translate.
- Read the result next to the selection, then copy it if you need it elsewhere.
Tips
Keep the source on auto unless you already know the language. If the selection is already in your target language, the second-language setting steers the request away from a no-op.
For a longer paragraph, paste into the in-page bar instead of fighting a fiddly selection.
