Google Translate (4.5 stars, 23K+ reviews)
Yes, we have another Google tool on the list of best Chromebook apps for writing and editing and it’s really no surprise. Just take a look at the Chrome Web Store and you’ll notice a huge gap between this one and the next most popular, at least when it comes to the number of reviews.
So, why do you need a tool to translate languages? Because you never know what type of text you’ll be writing. If you work with texts in a foreign language, then you’ll definitely need this. If you don’t, you’ll still need it in case you don’t remember the best way to express a phrase you read somewhere.
Google Translate is a great tool and it works just as well. Not only can you type in words to have them translated for you, you can also have it translate the entire page with a simple click.
Next, you can select text on a page you’re reading, right-click on your mouse and send the entire text into Google Translate. Alternatively, when visiting a page in a language you’re not familiar with, you can just select a word there and the translation will appear in a floating bubble.
Google Translate has some settings you can play with. First, you’ll obviously tell it what’s your primary language so it doesn’t bother you with translating it for you. You may also decide how to handle the pop-up translations by choosing between displaying an icon that you can click to show the pop-up, immediately display the pop-up or just forgo the pop-ups altogether.
So, these are the 5 best Chromebook apps for writing and editing and we hope they’ll be quite useful for whatever you need to get done.
