Learn from translations
Learn from translations is a Chrome extension developed by juho.kupiainen.qtrajectory. This free add-on falls under the Browsers category, specifically in the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The program aims to enhance language learning by providing translations of individual words or word sequences below the original text in web pages, subtitles, and books.
With Learn from translations, children can improve their English or other language skills by reading text in their target language on web pages, PDF files, or Amazon Kindle e-books. By hovering the mouse pointer over a translated word, the web browser pronounces the word, helping children with pronunciation. The extension can also translate copied text and subtitles.
This extension is particularly useful for language learners as it highlights the original text when a translation is hovered over, making it easy to understand the context. The app utilizes the Google Translate service and takes advantage of the monthly credit offered to Google Cloud users, allowing for free translation of approximately 150 pages per month. The pricing for additional translations can be found on the Google Cloud website.
Please note that subtitles need to be downloaded in .srt format, and the automatic addition of YouTube subtitles may not always work as it is not officially supported by YouTube. Learn from translations was developed by the Finnish company Q Trajectory Oy, and more information about the company can be found on the Finnish Business Information System website.
To access the full functionality of Learn from translations, users can purchase a license key on the official website of Q Trajectory Oy.
