What our analysis found

LightLang: translator for reading and language learning showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a publisher with 2 extensions and was last updated in June 2026.

Analyst notes

Every network call in the extension goes exclusively to Google's own translation services ([domain withheld] for translation and TTS, [domain withheld] for the embedded popup iframe) — there is no data sent to any publisher-controlled or unauthorized third-party server. The declarativeNetRequest rule strips X-Frame-Options and sec-fetch-* headers only on [domain withheld] sub_frame resources, which is the standard pattern for embedding Google Translate in a popup iframe and poses no broader risk. The content script behavior (Alt+Shift hover-to-underline, click-to-translate) precisely matches the extension's stated purpose, and the ML score of 0.00 confirms no code-level red flags; the risk engine's High rating was driven entirely by permission metadata, not actual behavior.

About this extension

The fastest translator for words and phrases. Learn languages right while surfing the web.

Read the publisher’s full description

LightLang is a next-generation translator that supports automatic selection of text elements such as words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. Thanks to this feature, the average translation time is reduced to 100 ms¹, whereas with manual selection it takes 1500–3000 ms. Just press Alt+Shift and hover over the desired text unit — it will be automatically underlined, and then you just need to click to translate. This takes the translator to a new level, making it suitable not only for daily translations but also for language learning. 🎯 Learn languages simply by visiting websites With high-speed translation, you can not only translate but start reading in the original language within minutes, matching sentence and phrase translations with individual words. It becomes true language practice: over time, you’ll learn to read without translation. New words and expressions no longer need to be memorized — they are learned more easily thanks to natural context. Without courses, lessons, or flashcards. 🧠 From background mode to rapid immersion LightLang is great for both slow, passive learning and rapid immersion. If you want to learn a language faster, regular practice on real texts — articles, news, and other web content — will help. And if you don’t have time to study, simply translating repeated words while browsing will help you memorize them naturally and expand your vocabulary. 😌 Laziness is no longer a problem In many translators, you have to manually select parts of the text — this becomes a barrier even for simple translation. But LightLang automatically underlines the necessary fragment — just hover the cursor. The act of translating becomes easier and below the laziness threshold, and this changes everything — you no longer skip frequently encountered words, and the chance of giving up learning is much lower. 📚 What else LightLang can do: • Support for 107 languages • Voice output, transliteration/transcription² • Auto-highlighting with capture — translate several words in a row (Ctrl + Alt + Shift) • Instant switching between auto-highlighting levels (Alt + Shift + mouse wheel) • Adding words, phrases, and sentences to the repeat list • Auto-highlighting and letter translation for languages with unfamiliar alphabets³ • Nested translations — within an open translation you can click on any word, letter, or even a whole sentence to open its translation over the current one _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ¹ Translation loading speed depends on Google Translate service and is not controlled by the extension. Speed-up is achieved by automating the selection process. ² Depends on Google Translate — in some cases transliteration is shown, in others transcription. ³ Also based on Google Translate. It is recommended to verify with learning materials.
