If the bar will not open or page translate does nothing, Chrome may be blocking the page, or the site may not allow the content script.
Common causes
- Internal Chrome pages (
chrome://, the Web Store, and similar). - Pages that finished loading into a restricted context.
- A tab that is not a normal
httporhttpsdocument.
What to try
- Move to a regular website and open the bar again.
- Reload the tab, then toggle page translate once more.
- Use selection translate or paste into the bar as a fallback.
These limits come from Chrome’s extension rules, not from a missing language pack.
