Lixo. This UI seems gibberish. Is this done by AI? It does not make no sense. It does work sometimes, but no customizability, no way to disable, UI is trash, use a different extension that does what it's supposed to do decently. Don't lose your time.

Works as expected. Forces the site language to what's selected. A good improvement would be to assign a language to a specific website, instead of having the language set globally.

Got it as figured it would translate what Google Translate fails to do at times. Couldn't get it to work at all and it spams me with a pop-up every time I try to highlight text to copy or try to type into a search bar. Tried to block the pop-up website in Chrome but for SOME REASON, they've removed the feature to block websites entirely. Uninstalled this exntension, still get the pop-up. Got another extension to block it, but it still pops up..... Reinstalled it to see if I could somehow block it from spamming me with a "pay to get AI translate" before I uninstall again. If not, I have no idea how to remove this super annoying pop-up!!
