  description

  Select any text on a webpage, press ⌘+Shift+T (or Ctrl+Shift+T), and get a translation that actually understands what the word or phrase means in context — not just a dictionary lookup.
  
  What you get for every translation:
  - Contextual translation — the best rendering given the surrounding sentence
  - Phonetic approximation — how to pronounce it in your target language
  - Grammar notes — part of speech, agreement rules, irregularities
  - Common usage — typical usage, with a note when the context differs from the common meaning
  - Word frequency — how common the word is in everyday speech
  
  Supports any language pair — set your target language once and translate anything on the web.
  
  Free — built as a passion project. No subscription, no ads.

  Learn languages while you browse.
