About Immersive Translate
Immersive Translate is a browser extension and app that translates content in place while keeping the original visible. On a web page it inserts the translation under each paragraph, so you can read bilingually instead of losing the source text. It also handles PDFs and ebooks with layout kept, bilingual video subtitles on YouTube and other sites, images and comics, and live meetings. You can choose which engine does the work, from built-in options to your own DeepL, OpenAI or other API keys. It is especially popular with language learners and people reading research or news in a second language. The core extension is free; a Pro subscription adds stronger AI models, higher document limits and extra features. It runs as an extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, with iOS and Android apps. It needs broad page permissions to work, which privacy-conscious users should weigh.
Best for: Readers and language learners who want bilingual web pages, PDFs and subtitles.
