Title: Chrome translation comes out of beta
Post by: Clive on March 18, 2010, 20:38

The automatic translation tool in the beta of Google Chrome has been extended to the full version of the browser.

Google is offering all users of the Chrome browser the chance to automatically translate the full text of foreign-language websites.  The tool was released in a beta version of Google Chrome issued earlier this month but Google has now rolled it out to the full version of the browser.

"Today, our translation technology works across 52 languages and can automatically detect and translate entire websites in less than a second," said Wieland Holfelder, engineering director at Google.

"Chrome's translation feature automatically detects if the language of the web page you're on is different from your preferred language setting. The browser will then display a prompt asking if you'd like the page to be translated using Google Translate," Holfender continued.

Google has also extended privacy controls issued in the beta version to the full Chrome browser.

"You can now manage Chrome's privacy settings via the browser's Options dialog. From these settings, you can control how browser cookies, images, pop-ups and even JavaScript and plug-ins are handled on a site-by-site basis," said Holfelder.
