I don't think you could find a more natural way to practice a language than reading its Wikipedia with Readlang

a handy browser extension for language learners that offers instant translations and creates flashcards from words you look up, helping improve vocabulary effortlessly. supports many languages, provides a clean reading interface, and makes language learning enjoyable and efficient excellent work!

Ok this might sound weird, but after an adblocker, this is probably the extension that has done most to improve my day to day internet experience. My Spanish just wasn't good enough to read recreationally when I had to flip to google translate every paragraph for anything harder than a fairy tale. Now I can actually get language practice in my down time, without it feeling like a chore. I can just read the news or browse reddit or whatever in Spanish instead of English. I wish I had something similar to use on mobile. I have a lot more chances to read on my phone during the day than on my laptop.

Makes smooth reading in your target/learning language a breeze. Automatically captures vocabulary to learn and drill later. If you want to increase your vocabulary and reading comprehension in a foreign language then this is your tool. It is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Perfect tool for learning new languages!

The TTS is extremely bad (at least for Hindi), also terms should come up in a popup, not shift the entire paragraph, it's quite distracting

I went to check outbooks at the nearest town's Public Library and I needed to know if this read program Readlang Web works like a regular library, my library skills are Bachelor's degree University of New Mexico with Elementary Education certified teaching experience. does this READLANG WeB have a chat that I cannot really always access because of not knowing this READLANG WeB computer program yet. But, I am fair to give a mediocre & fair rating because if this does help my extensive curriculum findings & teaching methodology in the classsroom, the literature experience will continje to be fun as well as comprehensive sentence fluency with visual imagery at age grade appropriate learning? Formats are usually very tangible level but kids & familiy folks would appreciate to find this translation. Thank-you. Professional development for me is at a school site level of school budget expense.

Just another bait and switch extension. It'll do single words and does it fine, but if you try to translate more than one word at the same time you have to make an account. Alright, fair. "Read and change all your data on all websites". Ehh...Ok...I understand why bc of the way the extension works, but it could have been worded a bit differently to not seem so sketchy. Start testing it out and doing some simple phrases. Yeah, ok, not too bad. I like the format and ease of use. Then, oh, you've reached your limit of 10 phrases/day. You have to subscribe to get unlimited phrase translation. Unbelievable. Nowhere on the page does it say a subscription is required to get phrase translation. Sure, it's technically "Free" in that you can translate single words, but anyone who speaks any language knows context can dramatically change meanings. I don't disagree with wanting to get compensated for the work you do, but if you have to be shady about it, then it's obviously not worth it.

there is no other language than Hindi in Indian languages. I needed Tamil lang. but i cant choose it. why not adding them. India has many language not only Hindi pls try to change it. as Hindi speaking population is more in India its not that everyone can understand Hindi. I was really disappointed in the first of logging in. pls change or else i would like uninstall it.

Kirill Andreevich 2024-05-02

It's a beautiful app, but there is only one question here: why when I clicked on the word and got a translation above it I can't see the translations on the rest of the same words? e.g. I've clicked on "permission" word and there are 5 more "permission" words on the page. Why I see the translation only one the first word? Is there any chance to add the translations on the rest of the same words? Anyway we can emphasis all of them

Dalibor Bogicevic 2024-03-16

This is brilliant.

Livia Dumalang 2024-03-10

Amazing tool, especially for free. I love how the words automatically become part of your flashcard deck. You can export your flashcards but honestly the flashcard feature is simple and pretty good. It shows the word in context from the sentence you read. A minor thing is that if you aren't paying for the pro features then you have to click for audio on the flashcard, doesn't bother me.

Pretty great! You can only do so much with the free version, but I find this quite useful for Malayalam.

Best tool ever regarding language learning. Phenomenal!!! At the same time you can translate words and create cards in the web. Later learn them. Import/export possible. At the website you can also learn with texts or even musicvideos. This replaces basically everything I have used before, no Duocards or LWT necessary anymore.

You should add support to word boundary detection otherwise it is impossible to learn Japanese. It's a well-researched problem in NLP so you should have no challenge finding pretrained models. Then you can stream the text to the readers for speed. I am paying customer but currently doesn't find this service useful. I will give 5 stars when this issue is fixed.

Broken, You can't select words from outside websites as it selects and imports each letter separately. Also those letters appear in the word list and can't be deleted. Importing articles seems to work and I can select words on already imported articles but I don't want random letters in my word list. I can't learn that way. Nice idea though...

Why do you require third party cookies? It is very wrong. I also use 3 ad blockers, since I hate trackers and all those malicious things they do. None of the other plugin require such cookie enabling. You should do something to end this rule, I am sure it is not necessary. The plugin is amazing. I also have Language Reactor which works the same way, however its word-save feature is not free. But it is the best for video subtitles.

Amazing! First, the translations seem really great. I tried single-word translations, but when piecing the words together, it didn't make sense. However, translating a phrase outputs a translation that takes the context into account. If it were just the translation, that would be great, but readlang then takes the words and phrases you translate and puts them into a flashcard program! This blows me away. Finally, the content available, including videos with synced text, is really, really valuable. I'm so impressed by this program!

Andrea Gamarra 2022-06-26

Es una excelente extensión. Me ha permitido mejorar mi inglés. Tiene cosas por mejorar: 1. Qué uno pueda escoger entre varias palabras, muchas veces la traducción es errónea porque las palabras varían según el contexto. 2. Que al menos se puede traducir dos palabras seguidas, existen palabras compuestas

Brilliant idea you had guys. Thank you a lot, its way easier to read something in target language now, because you dont have to go for another tab and write the word and wait for it. You just click for the word and it directly gives you that translation of it in your main language. Really useful .

Exactly what I've been looking for. I find it really helpful to check back with the original context while studying the flashcards. Definitely would recommend!!!

tüm bir siteye çeviri yapmasının yanı sıra bir sitedeki kelimelerin üzerine gelip tek bir tıkla çeviri imkanı yapmanızı da sağlıyor, çevirisini yaptığınız kelimeleri kütüphaneye ekliyor, bu sayede bilmediğiniz kelimeleri kaydettiği kütüphanesinden bulup kalıcı olarak öğrenmek için mükemmel bir kolaylık sağlıyor.

Google Translate seems to do more nowadays, and it works across all devices. Why not use everything that GT does and then build on it?

简单好用,点击翻译就显示在英文上面,另外会将生词保存成一个列表,供后续查看
