Polyglot Extension

Surf the web natively in any language.

Polyglot makes surfing the web in a foreign language just like surfing the net in your own language.

Foreign language sites will be translated automatically into your native language. Plus any text inputs you make into these foreign language sites in your native language will automatically be translated into that foreign language.

Now you can use the local version of Google, Ebay, Amazon or any other site whilst travelling or living overseas.

Additionally non-English speakers can now make use of the vast array of the internet that is only in the English language.
