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
