TransOver

Description

Translate word (or text selection) from any language to the language of your choice by pointing or clicking at it.

Also you can (enable in options):
- text-to-speech
- reverse translate: from your own language to the language of your choice
- type and translate in a popup
- copy translation to clipboard

SECURITY EXPLAINED

"Your data on all websites":
TransOver should be able to read any word on a page - "Your data ..." - in order to translate it. On any website you want it working - "... on all websites".

CHANGELOG
1.60

1.57
- Fix usage tracking
- Show error in the popup when google translate API rate limit is hit
1.56
- Better usage tracking (to see how many people hit Google Translate API rate limit)
