Google offers a lot of services and while many of them are quite useful, some of them are not. For instance, some of the most popular services by Google would be Google Chrome, Google web store, Google Play, Google Maps, etc. And, we find even Google Translate services also very useful. In fact, it is one of the best online translators around.
The best thing about Google’s translator service is that it’s easy to use, offers translation for a wide range of languages from across the world, and is available both as a web version, and also for Android platforms. The biggest plus point according to us, is that, it allows you to download and save the translated words or sentences in MP3.

So, how do you download the Google Translate voice files in MP3? Let’s find out.
Solution: Using Inspect Option
Step 1: Open Google chrome. Now, Open Google and search for Translate. Click on the official web page of Google Translate.
Step 2: Now type or copy paste the sentence you want to be translated in the empty space under Documents on the left and click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the empty box.

It’s not working anymore

Same here. No translate_tts file appears in the Network screen. Only log and browserinfo, neither of which when I open in a new window give me the mp3 audio of the translation. Perhaps Google changed something. I’m really hoping someone finds another work around. In my opinion Google is missing out by not providing this option. BTW I tried both Chrome browser and FireFox.

Does this still work? I tried it and it does not seem to show a tts line in the network screen. I use to do this, so do you know if something changed with how google translate works?
