Important notice
The Translate and Speak Chrome extension is not working in most of countries anymore. Google started charging for each translated character and I can’t pay for all of us. I haven’t found any other usable translation service, so this extension won’t be maintained. The source code is open, if you want to take it over – feel free to do so.
Thank you for using Translate and Speak
TranslateMe is a chrome extension, which lets you translate words or phrases from a page with just two clicks. Select some text on a web page, right click on it and select Translate.
You can also send the selected text to Google Translate by selecting Full Translation option in context menu. Alternatively you can use pop up to translate typed text:

thanks nice extension..
would be to nice if the SPEAK extension was on the TOP in context menu. and translate and speak could speak directly the translated words with out leaving the page.
thanks
Stunning work!!! (albo po polsku: to jest po prostu zajebiste!!!). Especially the “Speak!” feature. I was wondering about switching to Chrome but one thing still bothered me: “hovering” translation. So I sought, sought and sought. It’s a great luck for me to find this in time!!! Thank you very much! I don’t have any money on paypal right now, but mogę postawić jednego browara :D
help! popup doesnt appear anyomore
t0mekk, you probably have to reenable notifications. Go to Options->Under The Hood->Content Settings->Notifications->Exceptions and let Translate And Speak! display them. Or just let chrome ask you about notifications in Options->Under The Hood->Content Settings->Notifications.
Use the gadget to translate text on-line. Enter text in the box on the left, and click Translate. When you click Speak, the audio page opens in a new tab or new window. You can include a link to the new audio page on your web site, in an e-mail or on a blog.
Would it be possible to include another field when translating from, say, English to Chinese Simplified and Traditional which shows the pronunciation (pinyin)?
Michael, I haven’t though about it before, I will research and add it if I find appropriate web api. Thank you for the idea!
Hi!
This seems to have stopped working. I downloaded it today and it doesn’t seem to be retrieving results from Google as expected. I’d love this to work! Especially the learning module!
Seems to be a while since you’ve updated it… any chance of a look at the source?
Cheers,
