Translate a whole page, side by side
WordLinea translates a whole web page into your primary language, each translated paragraph under its original; you can also show the translation only, or switch back to the original. With WordLinea’s translation service it reads the whole page first, so terms and tone stay consistent from top to bottom. Select a word you don’t know to look it up; it is saved with its sentence and source.
How to use it
- Add the WordLinea extension. Create a free account and connect your library to use WordLinea’s translation service, or enter your own translation service in the extension settings, with no account.
- Click WordLinea in the toolbar and choose “Translate”. On iPhone and iPad, tap the page menu at the left of the address bar, choose WordLinea, then “Translate”.
- Under Display, choose Original, Translation or Side by side; translate the main text only, or the whole page with its menus and footer.
- With the translation only, hold ⌥ / Alt and point at a paragraph to see the original.
- Select a word to look it up; looking it up saves it.
How is it different from Immersive Translate and Read Frog?
Immersive Translate and Read Frog also translate pages side by side. WordLinea also keeps the words you look up: each stays in your library with its sentence and source, words from your library are marked on the pages you read next, and they come back as questions when they are due.

Which languages can it translate?
Pages in any language, into your primary language; paragraphs already in your primary language are skipped.
Can I still translate when my usage runs out?
Yes. Passages and pages switch to machine translation, and the control bar says so; looking up words carries on.
Can I use it without an account?
Yes. Enter an API address, model and key in the extension settings and translation goes through your own service, free and with no usage counted. Words you look up stay in this browser and move into your library if you connect it later.
How is review scheduled?
WordLinea schedules review with FSRS+, and every review is a question: first you pick what the word means in its sentence, then, as it settles, you fill it into the gap in the sentence, and later you spell it from its sound. Whether you answer right or wrong decides when it comes back; there is no grading yourself.
