Google moves browser translation out of beta

The translation tools will be available in all new Chrome downloads

Google has decided to take its browser translation features out of beta status.

The company said that it will extend the feature to all Windows versions of its Chrome browser as part of the "stable channel" category.

First unveiled earlier this month in beta versions of Chrome, the translation tools support 52 different languages and allow the browser to translate web page text at high speeds.

Google said that the translation tools would be included in all newly-downloaded versions of Chrome, while current users will be able to install the tools as part of an automatic update.

"Google Chrome’s translation feature is the latest step in the evolution of translation tools across Google," wrote Google Munich engineering director Wieland Holfelder on the company's official blog.

"Today, our translation technology works across 52 languages and can automatically detect and translate entire web sites in less than a second."

In addition to the translation tools, the company is planning to change Chrome's privacy settings in the new update. The update will allow users to better manage cookies, pop-ups, images and JavaScript code.
