New Google Chrome feature will translate complex pages in real time

Google is exploring a Chrome JavaScript API that exposes the browser’s built-in and downloadable machine learning translation models to web pages, aiming to improve real-time and dynamic content translation without heavy site-side resources. The proposal highlights privacy concerns such as fingerprinting users based on supported-language availability and suggests mitigations like language grouping or locale-based fixed sets, plus transparency on whether translation occurs on-device or in the cloud to prevent sensitive data exposure. No release timeline is provided.
