What’s new in version 1.7.0?

                Bar Translate is a Chrome Extension which allows you to translate anything and in any language directly in the address bar (also called Omnibox).

1. Jump to address bar (omnibox)
2. Type 't', and press space or tab
3. (optional) Prefix your query with any ISO language code
   You can also use the '>' operator to specify source and target 

And get the translation as you type!

Examples:
"hello" => "bonjour" (takes the browser language by default, French for this example)
"en bonjour" => "hello" (English)
"es hello"=> "holà" (Spanish)
"zh hello"=> "你好" (Chinese simplified)
"en>es four" => "cuatro" (from English into Spanish)
"fr>es four" => "horno" (from French into Spanish)

To retrieve a code language, just start typing its English name, for example if you type "chi", it will suggest "Chinese simplified (zh)", and "Chinese traditionnal (zh-TW)"

Features:
- instant translating
- everything happens in the address bar / omnibox (you can translate anything without leaving your current tab)
- support ~100 languages
- uses Google Translate API (Yandex and Bing coming soon!)
- the default translate language is your browser language
- language auto-completion (to find quickly its ISO code)
- specify source and target language with the '>' operator
- right click context menu, to translate text selection (translation appears in a native notification, so you don't have to leave your current tab!)

Bar Translate is Open Source, with a "Try > ♥ > Buy" pricing model (inspired from Kirby).
Try as much as you want, and if you like, buy a license.

This is the only app I know of that lets you translate directly from the search bar. Pretty useful.

It's awesome. All you need is the language two letter code and type your word then voila, your answer is right below apart of the omnibox. For a true example: I wanted the Russian word for dolphin and all I did was type the t in the omnibox hit my spacebar typed RU (for Russian) a space then I typed dolphin and voila my answer was right below. Now you can click on your answer to take you to Google Translator page if you want to hear the pronunciation of the word.
