Is Google Chrome sending browsing history and webpage content to Google (via Google Translate) even when sync is off? I didn't see anything about that in the settings.

Webpage text is only transmitted when you have Chrome translate a page.

Language detection happens offline using https://github.com/google/cld3

It's not (and translation needs to be triggered via click).
