SP Translate

SP Translate is a Google Chrome Extension that can be used on a SharePoint site. SP Translate will lookup the language/locale that the page is using and then try to find the english term for that text. This can be useful when you are new to SharePoint and working on a page that only has one locale enabled and tries to google something. The answers you get are almost always in english and can, somtetimes, be hard to map to what you see on the screen.

Usage

Go in to a SharePoint site and click on the SP Translate icon in the URL field.

Make sure that the extension is available by fist building the project and then add it to chrome

If you don't want to use it as a chrome extension you can run the following in the console.

var script = document.createElement("script"), SPTranslate = {translateOnLoad: true};
script.src = "https://sptranslate.azurewebsites.net/contentscript.js";
document.body.appendChild(script);
