## What it is
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
