Google is adding partial text translation to Chrome. What is partial text translation?
The regular method allows you to translate the entire webpage. For example, I am writing this article in English. You could translate this page into your own language. Google wants to add a bit more flexibility to this process.
What if, instead of the whole page, you want to translate a sentence or a paragraph? The new partial translation can help.
Partial Text Translation
Google is currently testing partial text translate behind an experimental flag. That means you should go to chrome://flags and enable the following flag to get this feature working:
