TranslationBuddy Toolbar is a browser extension owned and maintained by Mindspark Interactive, Inc. The program is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox and is available at translationbuddy.com. However, the official website is not the only source of the programs. The TranslationBuddy Toolbar is a free program, and it can be bundled with other programs, depending on the partners of Minspark Interactive Network. The toolbar offers the user a search engine and several features related to languages and translation. More specifically, the toolbar is powered by ask.com and enables the user to translate websites into different languages, install Multilanguage virtual keyboards, and access some other websites.

As regards the search engine promoted by the TranslationBuddy Toolbar, the search engine is set as the home page and defaults search provider. If you do not remember replacing your startup age with home.tb.ask.com, it implies that you paid little attention to the installation wizard when installing the program.
