How it works
- Set your preferred language once — then simply select any word, phrase, or sentence to see the translation.
- Choose how it triggers:
- always on selection, or
- only while holding Alt / Ctrl / ⌘ (many users prefer Alt).
Privacy & network
- No account required. No user tracking.
- Translation results are cached locally on your device to reduce unnecessary network requests.
- Requests are sent only to:
https://translate.googleapis.com(translation)https://dictionary.skyeng.ru— only when translating a single English word into Russian (dictionary card).
