- Multiple ways to get translation from web-pages:
- full-page text translations: enable/disable auto-translation for full webpage from browser's context-menu or app's action window
- double-click on the word
- mouse-over a block of text and press hotkey defined at the extension settings (
Alt + Shift + Xby default), this works for input/textarea fields too! - select a text at the webpage and click the XTranslate (X)-icon appeared close to the text
- just right after text selection (this option is turned off by default)
- click by selected text at the page (this option is turned off by default)
- open the app's action window (extension icon at browser's toolbar) and selected text from the page will be sent for translation
You can get even some translation from images by mouse overing the image element and
press hotkey (title or alt attributes will be used when applicable).

Translate texts in PDF files (disabled by default).
This option will replace default browser's PDF-viewer and sometimes might not work correctly due CORS.
