When I knew that Google do not have plans to add its popular Google Tool Bar to Chrome, I had a doubt that they are going to add most of it’s features in to Google Chrome by default, or “Built in”.

Recently, I got another sign of it, when I found ” Translation Bar” in the latest dev build that I am using ( yep,  I am using the developer version, to bring you the latest to you chrome news Google Chrome To Add Translation Bar Built in Translation ).  When you open a website, in a language other than your default language, the translation bar will popup on the top, suggesting you to view the translated version of the page.

See the screenshot. Click on the image to zoom in.

You may get this even if a part of the website is in a different language. You can close the translation bar clicking on “X” icon on it. However, I am yet to find an option to disable the translation bar for the entire browser. But yes, this is still bring developed, and we will soon see those options.

Plugin : Use Google Bookmarks instead of normal bookmarks on Google Chrome

by Dinu

With this post, we are starting a new section on chromestory.com, the plugin news tips and reviews section. You will see more plugin/extension/addon, whatever you call it, in coming days.

Last month or so, a visitor asked me how to use Google bookmarks on google chrome instead of regular bookmarks stored on the computer. There was nothing available that time, but now, we have a plugin that will add a  bookmarks option. When I found this plugin, I tried to find the visitor who asked me this question, so that I can email the link, and I couldn’t find it. So, this is for you, whoever asked for the plugin, sorry for not saving your email address.

Plugin Link :

Before you start installing it, a warning : Installing this plugin will remove all your existing bookmarks. So, its better to backups them before installing. I have left a note to the plugin developer, to add some kind of popup or notice before deleting bookmarks.

After you install the extension, you will get another “star” symbol, on the right hand side of your address bar, next to the go/stop/reload button. You should use that button instead of your regular bookmark icon, to add it to your google bookmarks. And yea, you should be logged in to your google accounts, to save them in to your google account.
