YRA Translator

A Chrome extension that provides full-page text translation using Chrome's new Translation APIs (Chrome 138+).

• ARIA attributes translation: Translates accessibility attributes like aria-label, title, alt, etc.
• Built-in Translation API: Uses Chrome's native Translation API for fast, offline translation
