Simple Translate is a browser extension (WebExtension) that lets users quickly translate selected text on web pages or typed text via a toolbar popup. It supports the Google Translate and DeepL APIs and works on Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.

Use cases

  • translate selected text on a web page
  • translate typed text from the toolbar popup
  • add a translation extension to Firefox
  • use DeepL to translate web page text
  • quickly look up foreign-language words while browsing

When to choose

  • you want in-page text translation on Firefox, Chrome, or Edge
  • you prefer Google Translate or DeepL as translation backends
  • you need a lightweight, open-source translation add-on

When to avoid

  • you need full-page automatic translation rather than selected text
  • you need translation outside the browser
  • you require translation providers other than Google Translate or DeepL
