Do you need a quick and simple way to understand an unfamiliar language while browsing the Internet? Then join us as we take a look at the Auto-Translate extension for Google Chrome.

您需要一種快速簡單的方法來瀏覽Internet時理解一種陌生的語言嗎？ 然后，加入我們，了解Google Chrome的自動翻譯擴展程序。

Installation & Options

安裝和選件

While adding the extension to Chrome you will be asked to confirm the installation…click on “Install” to finish the process.

在將擴展程序添加到Chrome時，系統會要求您確認安裝…單擊“安裝”以完成該過程。

You will notice a small extension management message window once installation is finished but there will be no “Toolbar Button” visible. At this point you will need to go into the Options to set up the default languages, additional configurations, and keyboard shortcuts.

安裝完成后，您會注意到一個小的擴展管理消息窗口，但是沒有“工具欄按鈕”可見。 此時，您將需要進入“選項”以設置默認語言，其他配置和鍵盤快捷鍵。

The only method for accessing the options for the extension is through the “Chrome Extensions Page”…

訪問擴展程序選項的唯一方法是通過“ Chrome擴展程序頁面”…

Once you have gone into the options you will notice that there are three default “Configuration Tab Areas”…each associated with a particular default “Keyboard Shortcut”. Each one will have a slightly different setup (i.e. the “From Language” and “Additional Configurations”).

進入選項后，您會注意到有三個默認的“配置選項卡區域”…每個與特定的默認“鍵盤快捷鍵”相關聯。 每個設置都有一個略有不同的設置(即“從語言”和“其他配置”)。

Note: If desired you can permanently remove “Configuration Tabs” by clicking on the “Tab Xs”.

注意：如果需要，您可以通過單擊“制表符Xs”永久刪除“配置選項卡”。

If you choose to add a “Custom Configuration” this is what you will see. Notice that you can set up your own personal “Keyboard Shortcut” and that the two “Additional Configurations” are “auto-selected” (you may prefer to deselect these).

如果您選擇添加“自定義配置”，則將看到此內容。 請注意，您可以設置自己的個人“鍵盤快捷鍵”，并且兩個“其他配置”是“自動選擇的”(您可能希望取消選擇它們)。

Each time that you make changes in a particular “Configuration Tab” and save them you will see the tab “shaded over” like this. If you wish to make further changes to the other “Configuration Tabs” just click anywhere on the “button” to remove the “shading”.

每次在特定的“配置選項卡”中進行更改并將其保存后，您都會看到這樣的“陰影”選項卡。 如果您希望對其他“配置選項卡”進行進一步更改，只需單擊“按鈕”上的任意位置以刪除“陰影”。

Auto-Translate in Action

自動翻譯

The trick to using this extension is to first hold down any keys that are associated with your chosen keyboard shortcuts/languages and then highlighting the text that you would like to have translated.

使用此擴展名的技巧是，首先按住與所選鍵盤快捷鍵/語言相關的所有鍵，然后突出顯示要翻譯的文本。

For our example we have “Ctrl + Highlighted Text (Selection)” set for English and “Ctrl + Shift + Highlighted Text (Selection)” set for Simplified Chinese. We started with a South Korean news website…the “red outlined area” is the text that we selected. Here is our English translation…

對于我們的示例，我們為英語設置了“ Ctrl +突出顯示的文本(選擇)”，為簡體中文設置了“ Ctrl + Shift +突出顯示的文本(選擇)”。 我們從韓國新聞網站開始……“紅色輪廓區域”是我們選擇的文字。 這是我們的英文翻譯…

Note: As soon as the “popup translation” appears you will not need to hold down on your mouse button. The highlighting color over the text will also “disappear”.

注意：“彈出式翻譯”出現后，您無需按住鼠標鍵。 文本上方的突出顯示顏色也將“消失”。

And our Simplified Chinese translation.

以及我們的簡體中文翻譯。

To keep things interesting we visited a French website next. Once again the translation into English…

為了使事情有趣，我們接下來訪問了一個法國網站。 再次翻譯成英文…

And the translation into Simplified Chinese.

并翻譯成簡體中文。

Conclusion

結論

During our tests the extension was a little bit off on the translations but if you need a quick way to understand what a particular website is saying, then this is definitely a very convenient extension.

在我們的測試過程中，擴展名對翻譯的影響不大，但是，如果您需要一種快速的方法來了解特定網站在說什么，那么這絕對是一個非常方便的擴展名。
