Google Chrome tests new translation options: What may change

Google Chrome is testing new translation options that might make web browsing easier without users having to encounter any language barriers. The popular browser from the tech giant already allows translation to and from multiple languages, however, Chrome tends to translate the whole web page which can be unnecessary at times. Google is now experimenting with a new ability for its browser to translate partial or selected texts. According to a report by 9to5Google, a Reddit user spotted Google Chrome’s new ability to “translate partial text on a webpage,” a feature which is still under development.
The most important function of this feature is its ability to “translate text highlighted on the page by the user.” However, it is important to note that these features are live but not functional in the latest Chrome Canary update. The company has not shared any information about the timeline of this feature coming to the stable builds of Google Chrome, but it is expected to happen gradually, the report suggests.
