PagePair Translate

About

PagePair Translate is a bilingual web translator for English reading. It helps you read English webpages without replacing the original text, adding clean paired translations below useful paragraphs so you can compare sentence structure, understand dense passages, and keep moving through the page.

Use it for:

- Technical documentation where the original wording still matters.
- Long-form news and blog posts where full-page replacement loses context.
- Reading practice where you want translation support without hiding English.

Core features:

- Article translation that focuses on the main readable content.
- Full-page translation when you need broader coverage.
- Four reading modes: parallel, light, hover, and click-to-reveal.
- Selection cards for words, phrases, and sentences.
- Pronunciation support for selected English text.
- Local vocabulary list with search, familiarity status, and CSV/JSON/Anki CSV export.
- Offline cache mode for previously translated pages and saved selection explanations.
- Page safety checks that skip forms, passwords, code blocks, dashboards, narrow columns, and hostile layouts that would make translations unreadable.
- Site rules, local cache, and a small floating page button.

Privacy-friendly by design:

- Settings, translation cache, and vocabulary are stored locally in your browser.
- PagePair does not read cookies, passwords, or form input fields.
- Translation requests send only the readable text blocks or selected text needed for the feature you use.
- Offline cache mode reuses local cache and vocabulary without sending new translation requests. It does not invent translations for unseen text.
- PagePair does not send full HTML, cookies, passwords, form inputs, or code blocks.
- PagePair runs on a webpage after you use the extension. Site auto-enable asks for optional site permission.
- No account is required and no API key is required for the first release.
