What XTranslate does
XTranslate watches for text you select on a webpage and shows a popup with a translation, letting you read foreign-language content without leaving the page. You can pick which translation engine powers the results and adjust how the popup looks and where it appears, making it a lightweight alternative to switching tabs to a translator site.
XTranslate free vs paid
XTranslate is free to install from the Chrome Web Store. Any costs or limits come from the translation engine you connect it to, not from XTranslate itself, since some third-party translation services have their own usage terms outside the extension.
Is XTranslate safe?
XTranslate needs access to the content of pages you visit so it can detect selected text and display the translation popup. This access is standard for in-page translation tools. Review the permissions on the Chrome Web Store listing if you plan to use it on sensitive pages.
