About ChatLang - Language Reading Mode
ChatLang turns the web into a language lesson. Its AI chat mode keeps up with streamed responses from popular chatbots, and a conservative reading mode handles other webpages.
READ ANYWHERE
• Add pinyin above Chinese, romaji above Japanese, romanization above Korean and transliteration above Russian.
• Hover words for fast meanings from packaged dictionaries or Chrome's built-in on-device translation.
• Use soft backgrounds, underlines or both to spot vocabulary by frequency.
• Adjust pronunciation, line height, spacing, background opacity and hover-card colors live.
• Choose the page language, learning language and meaning language clearly from the top of the popup.
• Turn ChatLang off globally or for one site.
IMMERSION MODE
Choose how much text to turn into vocabulary practice. ChatLang supports the 39 languages available through Chrome's on-device Translator API, while packaged dictionaries keep common lookups fast. Hover a replaced word to see its source meaning and pronunciation when available.
BUILT FOR MODERN PAGES
ChatLang watches streamed AI responses and other dynamic content. Its conservative processing leaves links, forms, buttons, code, editable content, media, frames and page controls untouched. It also works on regular articles and websites.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Page text, chat text and language processing stay in your browser. Chrome may download language models for its built-in Translator API. ChatLang does not send prompts, responses, page URLs or browsing history to its server.
