+# translateselectedtext
+The source code of the Chrome "Translate Selected Text" extension.
+
+## Do you want to help to translate?
+
+
+## Special thanks
+Special thanks to:
+* All the users who use the extension every day and who trust the model of developing simple extensions which do not request any privacy-breaking permissions.
+* Alexander Simkin for the Russian translation.
+* BrowserStack for allowing me to use their awesome services in order to test the extension in multiple versions of Chrome and in different operating systems.
