Is there any way to set Chromium to always automatically translate websites in all languages so I don't have to do "Always translate websites in LANGUAGE" every time I come across a website in a new language? I am on Mac OS X.

This is an old question, but it kept coming up when I was searching for how to do this, and I finally figured out how.
I modified the preferences file to add every language to Chrome's translation whitelist, which is the preference that choosing "always translate" changes. Here's the steps to do it:
kDefaultSupportedLanguages
array into your favorite text editor with a decent search-replace function.: "en",
(assuming you're wanting to always translate to English). You can use your preferences file as an example (see next step) if there's any confusion on the format.translate_whitelists
array (it's near the bottom, in mine) with what we've just generated, save, and (re)start Chrome.I also changed the translate_accepted_count
array in the preferences file to have a positive number for each language, but I don't think it's necessary.

Grab the Google Translate Extension. Head over to Chrome Menu → Tools → Extensions → Google Translate options and put a check mark against "Always translate".
When I go to the configuration for the extension, I get an error stating that the extension only works for Windows. I am on Mac OS X. – Wuffers – 2010-11-02T21:35:50.300
This worked for me without issue. – Sam I am says Reinstate Monica – 2019-08-13T02:13:11.943
