Review Summary

Multiple users complain that the Yandex Translate Chrome extension merely opens the Yandex Translate website in a new tab instead of translating text inline on the page, leading to an inconvenient experience. Automatic and popup translations are missing, and customization of default languages is limited. Some users report CAPTCHAs and translation features not working properly. On the positive side, users appreciate the accurate translation results and some prefer Yandex Translate over Google Translate for its additional features.

Pros

  • The extension provides access to Yandex Translate reliably.
  • Some users find it more convenient than Google Translate, appreciating features like history and word learning.
  • Helpful for studying foreign languages like Swedish and English.
  • It allows translation via right-click on selected text.
  • Users appreciate having a Yandex Translate integration in Chrome.

Cons

  • The extension does not translate text automatically or inline; it opens Yandex Translate in a new tab.
  • Lack of in-page or popup translation functionality; users want translation to appear directly on the page by hovering or selecting text.
  • Default translation languages are not customizable, causing inconvenience.
  • Frequent need to enter CAPTCHAs on the Yandex Translate site after using the extension causes annoyance.
  • The extension sometimes fails to function properly, e.g., double-click translation and settings become disabled.
