Information

The built in menu has a timeout, for default the ms is 300, this is to wait untill a google part of the page loads, the menu uses the Feedback button to have something to build off, this means the script uses the feedback menu to change everything to fit in the translate menu, but the feedback menu takes some milliseconds to load all the elements, that is where the timeout plays, if the timeout ms is to short, it'll cause errors since some of the elements are loaded, and some of the elements are needed to create the translate menu, you can change the milliseconds in your console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + I and clicking on the Console tab, then type in settings.ms = milliseconds, once done it'll change it and use it next time you press the Edit Translate button.

(Short Summary)

The Edit Translate button has to wait some milliseconds to wait for the elements to be loaded.

The translate menu is made/built out of the Feedback menu.

You can change the milliseconds by doing this in the console tab.

settings.ms = milliseconds;

1.2 Chrome Console

To know that you have added it, a little window will say something of the lines of 'You can now press Shift = to start the translate!', make sure you have added it.

NOTE: This is for windows, may differ if you have a different operating system.

First you need to install the extension folder, click here or just click on the download button at the repo.

Unzip this file, grab the extension folder and drag it somewhere you'll remember.

Now back to chrome, click on the three dots button, click on More Tools then onto the Extensions button.

After click on the extensions button and on the Google Translate Menu, by then you'll be loading into the translate page and the script will be already loaded!

I don't have five dollars laying around so I can't publish it, sorry.
