About Mirlo — Language Learning Without the Tracking

Bundle learning a language into something you already do — browsing the web. Mirlo swaps words on the page with ones from the language you're trying to learn, so you pick them up while you read. Dozens of languages to choose from. Every tool that does this has to send what you're reading to the cloud. That's how translation worked — your text goes up, the translation comes back, and along the way you've shared what you read, when, and where with a company that could sell or lose that data. In 2026, Chrome built an AI Translator API right into the browser. Mirlo is built on it. Translation happens on your device, and nothing leaves your computer. This isn't a privacy policy — it's the architecture. No servers, no accounts, no tracking. HOW IT WORKS Mirlo replaces individual words on web pages with translations in your target language. They appear inline as you read — colored text with a dotted underline. Hover any translated word to see the original. You control the intensity with a density setting: · Low — about 1 in 12 words, gentle exposure · Medium — about 1 in 4 words, steady learning · High — about 1 in 2 words, heavy exposure Want full context? Click the bird badge on any paragraph to translate the whole thing. Click again to switch back. PICK A LANGUAGE TO LEARN Choose the language you're learning. Mirlo works on any page that isn't already in it, translating words into it as you read. The first time you use a language, Chrome downloads it once — then translation runs offline. Mirlo uses Chrome's built-in, on-device translation, which currently supports these languages: Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Lithuanian, Marathi, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese
