MindTheWord provides language immersion while you browse the internet.

In every webpage visited, it randomly translates a few words into the target language specified by you. Because the translated words are kept in context, it is easy to infer and memorize their meanings. Therefore, you effortlessly learn new vocabulary and improve your language skills.

  • how translated words should be highlighted;
  • your own dictionary of pre-defined translations;
  • how many consecutive words should be translated;
  • a blacklist of websites that should not be translated;
  • and much more...
