Then, news from the Internet confirmed the netizens' questions: a spokesperson for Google's parent company said that the company has closed its translation services in mainland China, and the reason for the closure is that "the usage rate is too low." According to personal verification by netizens, after Google closed its translation service in mainland China, the original service page had been redirected to Google's Hong Kong translation page, and the page itself could not be accessed from the mainland.
So, what impact will Google Translate shut down its services in mainland China have on ordinary netizens?
Simply put, for most netizens, after Google Translation is closed, there is almost no impact, because in essence, many people may not know that Google still has this service in mainland China. In addition, just as Google itself said, even for netizens who need translation, the preferred translation service may come from domestic companies rather than Google Translation. Therefore, Google's closure of translation services this time has no impact on most netizens.
, but there are exceptions: for those who have always been accustomed to using Chrome to browse and access non-Chinese web pages, this is almost a devastating blow, because from then on, people will no longer be able to directly translate non-Chinese web pages through Chrome. You should know that Chrome browser occupies more than 65% of the global desktop browser market share, and even in China, Chrome browser is still the most important desktop browser.
Chrome browser is so popular that it is inseparable from its good user experience. Among them, the seamless connection between Chrome browser and Google Translation Service is a good example: when you visit a foreign web page, Chrome will actively remind you whether you need to translate the web page into Chinese? If you choose "Yes", then Chrome will instantly translate the web page into Chinese. However, after Google Translate shut down its services in mainland China, Chrome browser can no longer translate foreign web pages into Chinese.
So, after Google Translate is turned off, can the translation function of Chrome browser continue to be used?
The answer is: Yes! But some minor surgery is needed.
Specifically, you can continue to use the translation function of Chrome browser through the following method.
Although Google Translation may not be perfect, and sometimes the translation results are ridiculous, we need to know that Google's translation service has a lot of black technology, so in terms of translation accuracy, it is probably difficult to have competitors at the moment, which is the main reason why we are very persistent in using the translation function of Chrome browser.
