BabelFrog

Helps you learn a new language by translating selected text

BabelFrog is a lightweight Google Chrome extension designed to help you effortlessly learn new languages while browsing the web. Unlike other translation tools that inject scripts into every website and slow down performance, BabelFrog activates only on the pages you choose, ensuring your browser stays fast and secure.

Simply open a webpage and click the BabelFrog icon or press Ctrl+E (Command+E on Mac) to start translating. Select any text to get an instant translation in your preferred language. For translating links without accidentally navigating away, hold the Alt key while clicking to see the translation. You can customize your language settings by activating the extension again to open its settings panel. Navigating away or refreshing a page naturally resets BabelFrog, freeing up resources. Experience seamless language learning with BabelFrog’s user-friendly, on-demand translation.

User reviews

Really helpful to get quick translations, for just a word, or whole texts. All while doing it very intuitively and non-intrusively. I highly recommend it!
