Language Immersion Extension

I came across this little extension and thought it was a brilliant idea! It uses Google translate to change words on the internet into a different language, including Arabic! You can adjust the level of fluency, thus changing how much of a webpage is translated, as well as clicking on the words to see the original word. It even supports the "speech" feature of Google Translate to speak the pronunciation of the word!


I know language translation isn't 1:1 like this, you can't just change a word into another language and have it fit properly. Still, if you're like me, you probably spend a LOT of time online, and this extension WILL help you practice reading Arabic, and you may just start picking up some vocabulary!
