Immersive Translate
Browser extension that shows bilingual, side-by-side translations of web pages, PDFs, and video subtitles.
About
Immersive Translate is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (plus mobile) that translates web pages paragraph by paragraph, displaying the original and the translation side by side so the page layout stays intact. It routes through 20+ translation engines, including DeepL, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google Translate, and intelligently detects the main content area of a page. Beyond web pages it handles PDFs and EPUB eBooks with layout and formulas preserved, mouse-hover translation for instant paragraph lookup, input-box translation for multilingual chat, and bilingual subtitles across 100+ video platforms (provider-claimed).
An AI terminology glossary lets users pin field-specific terms for consistent translations, and an AI Expert Mode applies domain personas. The free tier covers general translation with unlimited web page and PDF translation (provider-described); Pro costs $9.99/month ($6.66/month annual) and Max $19.99/month ($9.99/month annual) per February 2026 third-party pricing. The vendor reports 10M+ users (provider-claimed). It is strongest for researchers, language learners, and professionals who read foreign-language content daily.
