Twinread: Bilingual Page Translator

Bilingual page translation using the translator built into Chrome. It runs on your device; nothing you read leaves your computer.

Read any web page in two languages, with the translation right under each paragraph. Twinread uses the translator built into Google Chrome, so what you read never leaves your computer: no account, no API key and no limit on pages. Save words with the sentence they came from as you read, and export them to Anki when you want to review. WHAT YOU GET • Translate a whole page with Alt+A or from the toolbar. Visible paragraphs come first, and new content that loads as you scroll is picked up • Bilingual view (translation under the original) or translation only. Switch at any time, without translating again, and go back to the untouched original with one click • Four looks for the translation: subtle, underline, highlight, or dim the original • Select text and get a small card with the translation and a copy button. Hold Alt over a paragraph to translate just that paragraph • Code, forms, editable areas, hidden text and one-word menu labels are left alone. Text already in your language is skipped. Links in the original stay clickable • Save a word or phrase from the selection card, with the sentence it came from. Search, edit and delete your saved words on their own page. Free keeps up to 30; they stay on your computer • Language pair with a swap button. The page language is detected for you, and you can set it by hand FREE VS PRO Free: everything above, with no limit on pages or length. Saved words are capped at 30. Pro: translate chosen sites automatically as they load, translate what you type into the page's language (Alt+Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Z undoes it), a glossary that keeps or changes chosen terms, and custom styles. For saved words, Pro saves without a limit, underlines them on every page with the translation on hover, and exports them to Anki or CSV. New installs get 7 days of Pro, free, no card required. After that Pro is a one-time pass, €3 for a month or €19 for a year. It does not renew and there is no subscription. One licence works on up to 3 browsers. GOOD TO KNOW • Needs Google Chrome 138 or later on desktop. Other browsers, including Chromium builds, cannot run Chrome's built-in translator, and Twinread says so • Chrome downloads a small language model once for each language pair you use. After that translation works without a connection • Chrome lets a page use its language model only after a click, once per website. The toolbar button, the shortcuts and text selection take care of that; on a site you set to translate automatically, the first visit shows a Start translating button • Pages served over plain http cannot be translated, because Chrome only enables its translator on https pages • Always-translate asks Chrome for access to one site at a time, only when you switch it on for that site. Twinread needs no access to any site at install PRIVACY The text you translate never leaves your computer. The only data that leaves your browser is your licence key, when a Pro pass is activated or re-checked. Twinread is an independent product and is not affiliated with Google.
