Add-on summary
App for Google Translate™ is the easiest way to open and use Google Translate from your desktop machine (PC, MAC or Linux). Clicking on the toolbar button, renders Google Translate in a standalone UI. Moreover, the window is re-sizable to your desired choice and all the changes are auto saved to the memory.
App for Google Translate™ is designed to operate similar to Chrome Apps. In other words, it opens in a simple and detached window (as opposed to the toolbar-popup or sidebar), and once closed, completely clears-off and won't have any further background activities. Having this behavior, it is considered a very lite addon and does not add any additional burden to your Firefox browser.
Important Note: App for Google Translate™ does NOT belong or related to the official Google/Google Translate website or application in any ways. It is an unofficial app that is developed and maintained independently. The official Google Translate software is only released for smart phones and the web. This unofficial app (browser addon) is a wrapper to the original Google Translate application and tries to make it usable as a browser plug-in.
When you open the popup, you will see a toolbar with 6 buttons at the right corner. Toolbar buttons are self-explanatory and if you hover over any of them, a title shows up with a short description. Note, after few seconds the toolbar will disappear by itself. But when you move the mouse to the right-side area, it will appear again.
