DISCLAIMER

This guide only provides a set of online interface translators. We don’t urge you to use any of them. You may not be able to read every interface element because many utilities can’t identify web interface items as text.

When you install an app, plugin, or addon, ensure it’s safe. Viruses, fishing software, and other types of malicious code can be distributed via extensions. We strongly recommend installing utilities only from trusted sources. Ensure your provider is a legit platform that cares about privacy and data security, and read product reviews before installing.
