This project aims to enhance the multilingual experience in Chrome. There were two primary goals: 1) Improve Android users’ experience on Chrome by removing invalid language codes from the Accept-Language list. 2) Help users whose language preferences may be set incorrectly get back to the language settings page from the Translate bubble. This bubble appears when Chrome believes the user can not read the current page language. We will add a menu option to go directly to Chrome’s language settings page from the bubble. Additionally, it fixed some bugs in Chrome's language and translation features and updated functions to have safer types and reduced memory usage.
