Social Translate is a new open source extension for Google’s Chrome browser that translates updates on social networking sites into your native language using Google Translate.
This will be the best Google Chrome extension for those who consume loads of social media content every day, English not being their first Language.
Install the extension, select your native Language, and let the extension translate twitter and facebook updates in to your language.
You can choose between “reliable,” which appears to attempt fewer translations, or “aggressive,” which is less accurate but attempts to guess at more words.
Event streams or comments in the primary language should not be translated. A user can also set multiple secondary languages in the Options settings. Event streams or comments in these languages will also not be translated. This is useful for users that read multiple languages and who would like to be able to see non-translated content that is posted in other languages.
Developers are working hard to get this extension working on other social media networks too. So, this extension looks like something to look forward to. Get your copy here today.
