ImTranslator for IE is a legacy browser extension developed by Smart Link Corporation designed to bring robust, multi-engine translation features directly into Internet Explorer. Originally launched for IE in September 2003, it grew to support dozens of languages and served as an essential tool for users navigating multilingual web content. Key Features
Multi-Engine Aggregation: Unlike standard extensions that rely on a single translator, ImTranslator allows users to switch between and compare results from top engines like Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.
Inline & Webpage Translation: Users can instantly translate a selected block of text or convert an entire webpage while preserving its original layout.
Text-to-Speech (TTS): Includes a voice synthesizer that reads both the source text and the translated content aloud, supporting accessibility and language learning.
Back Translation: Automatically translates the output back into the original source language, helping users check the precision and context of the translation.
Built-in Language Tools: It features an integrated multilingual dictionary, a spellchecker, and a virtual keyboard to input text across multiple language layouts. Current Status
Because Internet Explorer has been permanently retired and replaced by Microsoft Edge, the dedicated IE version of this extension is considered obsolete. However, Smart Link Corporation actively maintains modernized versions of ImTranslator on the Chrome Web Store as well as for Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Yandex browsers.
