The web-browser is the most used program for me and for most users of the internet, so it is important for browser to work efficiently during daily use. Altough most browsers have embedded translation features and there exists a lot of browser extensions providing translation capabalities, I have found them to be not good enough and unacceptable for intensive use. This is why I have created Linguist - the ultimate browser extension for translation.

      Note that Firefox has this translator built in if all you need is whole-page translation.

        … If all you need is western European languages translation. If you need to translate any African or Asian language, you are SOL.

          If you need languages other than “western European languages”, you’re SOL with this offline translator; whether you use it within Firefox or the extension.
