Translation: Another reason for Chrome's international popularity is its powerful Translation feature,
which no other browsers can offer.
Whenever you visit a webpage in another language, Chrome will automatically offer to translate the page to your native language.
The feature isn't always perfect and some translations might be slightly inaccurate,
but the tool opens the door to millions of websites that you might never have visited otherwise.
