Translate the web, your way.
Translate It is more than a translator, it's a modular translation ecosystem built around a zero-pressure philosophy. Designed to stay lightweight during everyday browsing, it brings text, page, document, image, subtitle, and live-audio translation into one extension across desktop, touch, and mobile environments.
Powered by 10+ translation providers, Translate It focuses on privacy, flexibility, performance, and giving users control over how and where their translations are processed.
