The Mouse Tooltip Translator extension for Chrome and Edge, version 0.1.195, has been released, offering users an efficient way to translate foreign language text with simple mouseover actions. This user-friendly tool allows individuals to hover over a section of text in another language, instantly translating it into their preferred language without the need to translate an entire webpage. This feature is particularly useful for those who frequently encounter foreign language content while browsing the internet.
The extension leverages Google Translate for its translation capabilities and includes a range of features that enhance usability. Users can hover or select text for translation and view tooltips on any webpage (excluding the Chrome Web Store). Additionally, it supports translations through both Google and Bing Translators. The settings also include Google Text-to-Speech (TTS), allowing users to listen to the translated text. A unique feature enables the translation of tooltips within PDF documents using PDF.js.
In experimental modes, the extension can translate YouTube captions when users hover over subtitle blocks and utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for translating text in comic bubbles. The extension also includes a filter to prevent translations when the source and target languages are the same, ensuring a smoother user experience.
In conclusion, the Mouse Tooltip Translator extension is an invaluable tool for multilingual browsing, providing quick, contextual translations without the hassle of full page translations. Future updates could enhance its capabilities, potentially integrating support for even more languages, improving OCR functionality, and expanding its experimental features to cover more platforms and media types
