Google translate already has an auto-detect language feature. I suspect it would be reasonably simple to add a "Translate this" button somewhere in Chrome (perhaps it's already there, I don't have Chrome installed on this machine.) Perhaps automatically doing it for every site would be a little bit intrusive on the privacy front.

  It kind of depends what you mean by build. From scratch - I have no idea. For Google Chrome? It's just an API call away - https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/basic/detecting-language https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/basic/detecting-lang...

  As a rule of thumb, everything in NLP is harder than it looks.
