Review Summary
Quick Translate is praised for its instant translation triggered by selecting text and pressing the Shift key, along with not redirecting users away from their page, and displaying useful grammatical details. However, many users report that the Shift key shortcut inconsistently fails or interferes with normal keyboard text selection, making the experience frustrating. Some languages are not supported, and requested features like pronunciation playback, copy buttons, and customizable hotkeys are missing. Despite these cons, it remains a simple and effective tool for quick translations.
Pros
- Instant translation by selecting text and pressing Shift key is very practical and comfortable.
- Allows translation without leaving the current webpage, improving user convenience compared to redirecting to Google Translate.
- Supports quick learning by instantly showing translation and grammatical details (like part of speech and example usage).
- Hotkey functionality (Shift key) is convenient for quick translations without using context menu.
- Simple and straightforward interface, making it easy to use even for new users.
Cons
- The Shift key shortcut sometimes fails to work or stops working for multiple users.
- The extension interrupts normal typing and text selection behavior, particularly when using Shift key in textboxes, causing inconvenience.
- Lack of support for some languages, such as Bengali and Tamil, was noted.
- No option to change the default hotkey (Shift) to another key, which interferes with normal text selection via keyboard.
- Missing features such as a pronunciation (listening) button, copy icon for translated text, and a reminder or word list function.
