Use Settings Configure Extensions... to open a dialog with all installed plugins and select the ones you need. All plugins are accessible in the Tools menu.
Only plugins appropriate for the current mode (file manager or browser in KHTML/WebEngine view) are listed in the dialog.

Browser Mode

Machine translation is not a perfect science! Google will at best give you a rough translation, and at worst will give you a very funny read. Don't base important decisions on things you have read from a Google translated page, without confirming that the translation is indeed accurate.
You may only translate web pages that are accessible on the world wide web. To translate any other text, you should go directly to the Google site itself, where you are able to paste in text for translation.
DOM Tree Viewer (KHTML view only) 	 The DOM Tree Viewer allows a developer to view the styles, attributes and elements of a web document.
Selecting Tools Show DOM Tree opens a new window which displays the document object model (DOM) of the current HTML page.

If you wish to manipulate the DOM tree in any way you will have to use an external script to do so.
