Google has updated Lens on the desktop with more helpful features. It doesn't just help you do reverse image searches. Now, it gets Text and Translate options, too. You can copy, listen, translate or search for text in the images. The two tabs are interchangeable, allowing you to click or select a portion of the text from Translate or translate words from Text.
Translate's interface is similar to the mobile app interface. You can let Lens auto-detect the language or set it manually. It will display the translation directly over the original text, too, and list them on the right sidebar, where you get the option to copy them. If you want a more robust experience, you can open the text inside translate.google.com. This update to Google Lens seems to be widely available for Chrome 100 users on Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS.
