FluentRead is an open-source browser extension that provides bilingual webpage translation, instant selection translation, and image text translation with OCR. It supports multiple translation backends including Microsoft, Google, DeepL, AI providers like OpenAI and Gemini, and local Ollama models.

Use cases

• read foreign webpages with bilingual side-by-side translation
• translate selected text instantly while browsing
• translate text inside images and screenshots
• use AI models like OpenAI or local Ollama for webpage translation
• translate technical documentation without leaving the page
• switch between free and paid translation services in one extension

When to choose

• you want bilingual reading that preserves the original page layout
• you need flexible translation backends including local models via Ollama
• you want selection, hover, and gesture-based translation triggers
• you need a free fallback translation chain without an account

When to avoid

• you need translation outside the browser, such as for documents or apps
• you require professional certified translation quality
• the target site blocks extension content injection, such as browser internal pages
