On-the-fly translation of Web pages is a fixture in Chrome for PCs, but now it's in the Android version, too. Also arriving: SPDY-augmented data compression.

Google, always trying to break down language barriers as part of its mission to make the world's information accessible, has added on-the-fly, automatic Web page translation to its Chrome browser for Android devices.
Chrome 28 for Android, released Wednesday, has the translation feature built in, said Chrome team member Jason Kersey in a blog post. The feature has been built into Chrome for personal computers for years.
Also new in Chrome 28 for Android, according to Kersey and another Chrome team member, Dan Alcantara:
* An optimized user interface for right-to-left (RTL) languages including Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew.
* Full-screen support on tablets, which lets Web apps -- in particular games and video -- take over the entire screen.
* Support for Google's experimental data compression service that lets fast Google servers read a Web page, optimize it for mobile devices, then transmit it faster to a mobile device using Google's SPDY network technology. The service only works with unencrypted Web pages.
