TranslateIt Extension

TranslateIT is a user-friendly chrome extension that makes it easy for users to translate any text on the web without interrupting their workflow. With TranslateIT, users can seamlessly switch between languages by simply clicking on the extension icon.

The extension allows users to translate text in two ways. First, users can select the text they want to translate on a web page and right-click to access the context menu. From there, they can select the \"Translate\" option. The extension will then quickly translate the selected text, allowing users to continue browsing without any interruptions.

Alternatively, users can also use the TranslateIT extension itself to translate text. When users click on the TranslateIT icon, a small window appears with a text box. Users can select their desired language from the dropdown menu. The extension will then instantly translate the text and display it in the same window, making it easy for users to access the translated text without leaving their current tab.
