🗣️ What Users Say
Users appreciate the extension’s simplicity and effectiveness:
- Pros:
- Quick and easy translations without leaving the page.
- Supports a wide range of languages.
- Seamless integration with Chrome.
- Cons:
- While useful for translating pages in Japanese, Korean or Chinese, you won’t be able to use it to translate comic page images. So while you can read web pages in Asian languages, the extension will not translate the comic itself.
- Some users report occasional inaccuracies in translations, especially with complex or nuanced text.
- The removal of full-page translation from the extension has been a point of contention for some users.
✅ Verdict
For those seeking to access and understand adult-themed content across different languages, the Google Translate Chrome Extension is a valuable tool. Its ease of use, broad language support, and seamless integration with Chrome make it a go-to choice for quick translations. However, for full-page translations, users will need to rely on Chrome’s native translation feature. Plus, you won’t be able to read comics in other languages as the comic pages are saved as images. Google offers image translation, but you’ll need to use Google Translate and manually upload each page for translation.
