I use Brave Browser and one issue is its built-in translation is terrible. This extension basically brings proper Google translate functionality to Brave. The auto-translate settings are great. I’ve now disabled Brave Translate and the Google Translate extension. This is all I need and works great.

Does not work anymore for more than a week. 404 error when trying to translate

Really convenient, especially the setting for auto-translating specific sites. Only downside is that it won't translate something until it's been made visible on the page yet (e.g.: 2nd half of the page and infobubbles). It's fast enough for it to not be a bother, though.

Very customizable. I even can add my own translator

What is Linguist?

Linguist is a browser extension that translates pages and text, potentially replacing your current translation service. It offers real-time page translation, selected text translation, manual input translation, and a dictionary to save important translations. It supports all translation services, including Google, Yandex, and Bing, and even custom-designed ones.

Linguist prioritizes user data control, allowing users to download their personal dictionary and data. It uses a cache system to save data usage, storing translated pages or phrases for future access, even offline. The cache can be disabled for private data translation.

Unlike online translation services, Linguist can translate pages requiring authorization and doesn't collect personal data. It can use any translation service, translating data on your PC without an internet connection.

Linguist is open-source, supports all translation services, and doesn't collect personal data. It translates text on pages, allows comprehensive translation, and saves important translations, aiming to improve the internet experience for all users.
