[Tip] Enable New “Translator Bubble UI” in Google Chrome

Here is a small but useful tip for Google Chrome web browser users. If you use Google Chrome, you might be aware of its built-in “Page Translator” feature which offers automatic translation facility if the current webpage is not in your preferred language.

This feature shows a small translation toolbar also called “Infobar” at the top of the webpage which can be used to translate the webpage in your own language.

In newer versions of Chrome, the developer team has introduced a new option to replace this translation infobar with a new and advanced bubble UI. By default this new UI is disabled but you can enable it using Chrome’s advanced configuration page i.e. chrome://flags page.

Following is a preview of the new bubble UI of page translator feature:

You can see in the above screenshot, the new bubble UI of translator looks more advanced and clean compared to the old toolbar.
