Extend Chrome with handy translation function

Of course, Chrome works well with Google Translate, as both are from Google. By default, Google Translate asks whether it should translate a page in a foreign language into Dutch. Google Translate is also available as an extension of the Internet program Chrome. An extension is an extension of the browser. He adds an option to the Internet program.

Google Translate can be put to work in several ways. Translate a whole page like this:

Google translates the text directly into Dutch.

Do you want to know the meaning of a piece of text on the internet? That’s how it works:
