Description
Read the original. Hold a key to translate any paragraph, or show both languages. Free and on-device. Read in another language, uninterrupted. Most translation extensions flood the page with translated text and double its length. Bilingual does the opposite: you read the original, and the translation appears only when you reach for it. ■ Hold to see: hold ⌥ (Shift elsewhere) and point at a paragraph. Its translation floats beside it without pushing the page around, and disappears when you let go. With on-device translation, nearby paragraphs are translated ahead of time, so most appear instantly. ■ Selection: select a few words, then hold the key to translate just those. ■ Both: double-tap the key to show every paragraph with its translation; double-tap again to go back. With room in the margin the translation sits there and the article keeps its length; on busy layouts, or when translations run long, the whole page switches to translation-below-paragraph, so nothing ends up scattered. You can also choose per site. ■ Fast and tidy: paragraphs on screen are translated first, so the page fills in quickly after you jump ahead or scroll fast; copying the original leaves the translations out; on AI chats that stream answers word by word, each translation stays at the end of its paragraph. ■ Tuned for the sites you read: on X, Reddit, GitHub, Hacker News and Wikipedia only the actual content is translated, never buttons, bylines or menus, and each post in a feed is translated from its own language. ■ Sentence alignment: point at any sentence and its counterpart on the other side lights up. ■ Word lookup: hold the key and rest on a word to see what it means, in context when you use Precise translation. ■ On-device: uses Chrome's built-in model by default. Free, and your text never leaves your computer. ■ 38 target languages: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Italian, plus Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish and more. Where on-device translation doesn't cover a language pair, you can switch to Precise translation. ■ Precise translation (optional): bring your own API key (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, Anthropic). It reads the whole page first to keep terms consistent, then translates sentence by sentence and flags wording it isn't sure about. ■ Comfortable to read: translation fonts are paired with the page's typeface, and colors follow the actual background behind each paragraph, so translations stay clear on dark pages and over gradient or image headers, and re-color when a site switches between light and dark. On right-to-left pages such as Arabic or Hebrew, translations into left-to-right languages stay left-aligned. No account, no subscription, no data collection.
