Chrome extension

Translate without leaving the page.

Select a word, sentence, or paragraph. Franker translates it with Chrome's built-in on-device API and places the result beside the original text.

Built into Chrome

Free, instant, and private by design

Franker uses Chrome's on-device Translator and Language Detector APIs. Selected text is processed on your device rather than sent to Franker servers.

  • No Franker account, subscription, or cloud API key
  • No ads, analytics, or tracking
  • Chrome downloads required language support automatically when needed
