How to setup Adroid Chrome to translate highlighted text via the pop-up Google search How to set up the little pop-up bar down below the screen, which generates a quick Google search whenever a word or phrase has been highlighted, to automatically translate what has been selected. That was my original setup but I guess I have messed up some settings and now it doesn't translate. How can I turn it back on?
Open Google Translate's settings.
Select "Tap to Translate", then enable "Enable".
In Preferred languages, set "Your primary language" and "Language you translate the most".
Go back to Chrome, select a word, "Translate" should appear. Click on it to translate the word.


Update

Based on Vadim's comment that the method might no longer work, to get the translation back:


Enter chrome://flags on your search bar
Type translation on the Search flag box
Set Contextual Search translations to Enabled.
Then Relaunch Chrome


You should be able again to see the translation at the bottom after selecting a word as seen on the image below.



Remarks:


Touch to Search must be enabled in Chrome's settings (Settings -> Sync and Google services -> Touch to search)
There are times when it stops working. You need either:

a. pressing the 3-dot then Translate or

b. to restart Chrome, or
