Immersive Translate

Immersive Translate is a browser extension that translates web pages, PDF files, ePub books, and subtitles. It’s free to use and works on both desktop and mobile devices. A key feature is bilingual display, showing the original and translated text side by side, which is useful for language learners and anyone working with foreign-language materials.

How it works

Immersive Translate can use different translation engines to improve accuracy. The interface is straightforward: translation is triggered with a single button. It doesn’t require registration and doesn’t impose limits on how much you translate. An internet connection is required.

Best-fit use cases and limitations

• Reading foreign-language websites and documents with the original text visible
• Translating PDFs and ePub books for study or research
• Translating subtitles while watching videos
• Not intended for highly polished literary translation; nuance may be lost
• No offline mode
• Not recommended for confidential data, since content is sent to a server for translation
