External services

This plugin integrates with Google Translate service to provide instant website translation functionality.

The plugin loads the Google Translate JavaScript library from translate.google.com to enable real-time translation of website content in the user’s browser.

The following data is sent to Google Translate:
* Page content when a user selects a different language
* The selected language preference
* Browser and device information (as part of standard HTTP requests)

Translation is performed “on the fly” in the user’s browser. The plugin does not create separate pages for each language and translations are not indexed by search engines.

This service is provided by Google LLC: Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms), Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Note: Google Translate may collect anonymous usage statistics according to Google’s privacy policy. The plugin uses the free Google Translate Widget which does not require API keys or registration.
