WordsTalk - Immersive Translator for Academic Reading, Writing & PDF

✨ What’s New in v1.4.0 — Full-Page Reading, Focused Translation Read the whole page, then explore the passages that matter. WordsTalk 1.4.0 brings an upgraded translation workflow for moving from a broad understanding to focused academic reading. 🌐 Full-Page Bilingual Translation Translate the main text of web pages in Fast Mode, with translations displayed beneath the original paragraphs. Read both languages in context without switching tabs or repeatedly copying text. 🎯 Selected-Text Deep Translation Select a passage and click the WordsTalk icon to bring it, together with surrounding context, into the side panel. Use Deep Mode for focused translation, with adjustable language and subject settings. For longer passages, continue on the WordsTalk website with your text and translation settings carried over. ⚡ Translate Individual Paragraphs on Demand Enable hover translation, then hold Ctrl on Windows/Linux or Command on macOS while hovering over a paragraph. The translation stays visible after you release the key, so you can read at your own pace. 🎛️ More Control, Less Interruption A redesigned floating control bar lets you track full-page translation progress, pause and resume, and show or hide completed translations without translating them again. Retry individual failed paragraphs without restarting the whole page. 🔄 Continue After Topping Up If your Fast Mode credits run out, completed translations remain visible. Top up and resume the unfinished paragraphs on the current page without retranslating completed ones. ------------- 🌟Why WordsTalk? WordsTalk is a translation extension designed specifically for academic deep reading and research writing—not just casual browsing. When you're conducting literature reviews, analysing research papers, or preparing your thesis, you need more than "getting the gist". You need precise terminology, contextual understanding, and translations that become reusable assets for your academic work—not disposable one-time outputs. Generic translators can't remember your field-specific terms, maintain consistency across documents, or integrate into your research workflow. WordsTalk changes this. It supports your research from reading to publication. ☀️ Core Features 📖 Side Panel Translation - Translate selected text instantly without leaving your page - Bilingual display in side panel—keep original and translation visible - Key translations persist in sidebar for easy reference - Context-aware translation based on surrounding content - Works seamlessly on web pages and PDF documents 🧠 AI-Powered Academic Translation - 10+ academic-focused AI models automatically selected based on content - Incorporates translation expertise from extensive published academic work - Prioritises terminology consistency and scholarly expression - Supports 100+ language pairs for all mainstream academic reading scenarios 📚 Terminology Memory System - Auto-links to your personal terminology database (350,000+ domain-specific terms) - Maintains consistent terminology across all translations - System learns your research focus and writing preferences - The more you use it, the more personalised it becomes 🔄 Platform Integration - Continue working on longer passages on the WordsTalk website, with your text, context, and translation settings carried over - All extension history syncs to platform - Translations become accumulated knowledge, not disposable outputs - Access your translation history anytime, anywhere 🚀 How to Use Get Started in Seconds: 1.
