BEIJING, March 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Google has rolled out an update for its Chrome browser, which will now feature an automatic translation tool, allowing users to translate websites into their native languages in less than a second.
According to the official Google Blog, the Chrome web page translation feature is based on Google Translate, which ensures automatic translations of web pages in quasi real time.
The new feature, which supports 52 languages, was previously available only in the beta version of its browser. “In Chrome, the language detection takes place in the browser, not on Google servers. If the page isn't in a language you know, Chrome offers to translate it for you by sending it through Google Translate,” Darin Fisher, Software Engineer for Chrome browser, said.
Apart from the new translation tool, Chrome has been updated with new privacy features, which will now allow Chrome users to manage 'Content Settings' for manipulating browser cookies, images, JavaScript, plug-ins, and pop-ups.
The update also includes a new overview of Google Update technology, which will now allow the company to remove the unique ID tags from Google Update while enabling it keep track of active users and supplying security updates periodically.
