Google Translate With Chrome

Question

Has anyone figured out how to get the old hover and translate for one word that was part of Internet Explorer in Google Chrome ?

Answer 1

Very interesting. I just highlighted and double clicked the word "highlighting" in Andreknue's reply and the infinitive "destacar". popped up. I am using Google Chrome because I find I cannot log into this site in IE. IE blocks the login pop up and kind of grays out the site. I expect IE detects what is interpreted as a security issue with logging into this site. This pop up translation feature in this site seems to work in either Chrome or IE.

I use IE without problems. - ian-hill, Jul 2, 2013

I suppose that might be due to the version of IE that we are using. I am using IE 10. Also it could be my anti virus (Norton Internet Security) that is blocking the login pop up but I doubt it. - kirk1, Jul 3, 2013

Erm, Google Translate is quite possibly the worst thing you could use. What are you trying to accomplish? Even looking up a vocabulary word will get you into trouble, "pretty" in English can be bonito, hermoso, precioso, bello etc. I would use a dictionary with explanations and stay far far away from Google Translate. It's up to you, of course, but it produces just terrible Spanish. (Sorry :().

Sometimes Google Translate is very off in it's translations…. - Curly_Puffington, Jul 2, 2013

Answer 3

Google Translate works with I.E. but it seems not to do individual words with Chrome, as anyone found an Add In for Chrome that does the single one word hover over like it did with I.E. ?

Answer 4

I do not remember but try double clicking on or highlighting the word first then hover.
