Chrome Translation

I prefer using the Google Chrome browser because I find it faster to launch and then open web pages than any other browser. This morning I was asked to (technically) review a French website, and when I went to the site, Chrome asked me if I wanted to translate the page. The result was much better than I'd imagined.

For example, open Google Chrome, load http://www.lemonde.fr/ and at the top of the page it will ask if you want to translate the page. Click Yes. Note that any of the images which have text can't be translated, and often these types of images are used for buttons to click on. Menus are often written in 'normal' text though - so these are translated.

Let me know what you think of the results.

It's a good feature, nothing too exciting as FF had a few plugins that did the same thing (with or without google's translate). also I can't seem to turn the thing off totally.
