Quick installation (Chrome)

2. Click “Add to Chrome” then confirm by selecting Add extension.
3. After installation, an ImTranslator icon appears in the toolbar — pin it for easy access.

Basic settings to configure

• Text-to-speech: Select voice language and playback speed.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Configure or review shortcuts for instant translate and read-aloud.
• Context menu: Toggle which context-menu items appear when you right-click selected text.

2. Click the toolbar icon or use the keyboard shortcut to open ImTranslator.
3. Choose target language and click Translate — or enable the popup to see translation immediately.

Tips for best experience

• Pin the extension to the toolbar for faster access.
• Grant any requested permissions so inline translation works properly.
• If translations seem off, try switching the translation engine or reloading the page.
• Use text-to-speech for pronunciation practice.
