About Nihongo: Learn Japanese Simply
Learn directly from Japanese webpages without breaking your flow.
Translate a Japanese webpage in place:
- Choose Translate page to English from the extension
- Read natural, idiomatic English in the original page layout
- Translate new modal content while page translation is on
- Keep translation on across navigation, reloads, and Back or Forward in the tab
- Reuse cached text translations without a server request
- Choose Show original Japanese to turn translation off for the tab
Highlight a Japanese term or short phrase, then press Translate to see:
- A clear, natural English meaning within seconds
- Play the selected Japanese aloud with the app's Japanese voice
- Keep several translations open at once
- Find your recent selection translations in the extension popup's History tab
Translate the Japanese text inside an image:
- Right-click the image and choose Translate image to English
- Read the English text in a notification that stays open until you close it
- Select and copy the translation; scroll to read long results
- Reopen the original image and translated text from the Chrome section of app history
Read translations under Netflix video:
- Press Add to Nihongo from a show details screen or episode list
- Follow download and preparation progress in the extension popup
- Stay on the show screen while a muted temporary window loads Japanese audio
- Read prepared subtitles automatically when you play the matching Japanese track
- Read the Japanese transcript and English translation below the video
- Read overlapping speech on separate rows at the same time
- Choose furigana, English translation, and keyboard shortcuts in the Netflix tab
- Hide the English line until you click it, to test your listening first
- Select a word in a caption to see its meaning
- Prepare the next episode automatically near the end of the current one
- Pause automatically after each line or overlapping exchange for study
- Save a caption or selected Japanese phrase to an app deck
- Copy a line, copy or download the episode transcript, and report a wrong line from the caption menu
- Change furigana, English, and pause settings from the caption menu, also in fullscreen
- Create a deck while saving, with episode and series name suggestions
- Generate the transcript from audio without using Netflix subtitles
- Count your watching time in the app's study tracking

Keep Japanese prices in context:
- Turn on Convert yen to USD to show estimated USD values on every site you visit
- Hover a converted value to see the original yen amount
- Turn the switch off to restore the original yen prices
Link your Nihongo account securely:
- Open the extension to generate a short-lived QR code
- Scan it from the signed-in Nihongo iOS app
- Manage and revoke linked browsers from the app
- See Chrome translations in a separate 12-item history with a Chrome badge
Privacy by design:
- Japanese text is sent only after you actively choose a selection translation or its audio playback, or Translate page to English; images are sent only after you invoke Translate image to English
- Whole-page translation sends the page title and visible Japanese text, but not the page URL or browsing history
- Completed text translations are cached locally, up to 4 MiB; unlinking clears the cache
- Netflix audio sections are sent for transcription only after Add to Nihongo
- Netflix transcripts are cached locally and are not added to app history
- Yen detection and conversion happen locally in your browser
- No ads and no sale of personal data
Exchange-rate conversions are estimates and may differ from card or payment
provider rates.
