A post from a Google employee appeared on the Chrome technical support site, according to which the company began to "kill" the built-in translator in Chrome 95 and older versions of the browser. The icon does not disappear, but an error will appear when trying to translate the page.
To continue using the Chrome translator, you need to upgrade to Chrome 96 and higher. If the device does not support current versions or updating is not possible for another reason, it is recommended to use the web version of Google Translate. However, in this case, you will have to copy each text and paste it into the translator window — which also has a limit of 5,000 characters.
Most users will not be affected by this change. The Chrome 96 update was released in December 2021, and it is supported by most modern systems. Only old devices are stuck on Chrome 95: so, the build became the final one for Android 5.0 Lollipop. At the same time, iOS 13 does not support versions higher than Chrome 93, and for macOS Yosemite 10.10 the latest release was Chrome 87.
