This update notice is provided to help you better understand and make full use of the new features.

Image Translation: Instantly Understand Memes and Visual Tutorials

Tutorials in another language? Memes with garbled text? Screenshots with no copyable content? Immersive Translate takes care of it all. Just upload an image or right-click it in your browser and hit "Translate image"—we’ll detect the text, translate it, and even restore the original layout with stunning accuracy.

Whether it’s a scanned doc, a manga panel, or a viral meme, you'll get a native-language version that’s readable, downloadable, and beautifully formatted. No login walls: Free users get full access, and Pro users enjoy even sharper translations and cleaner layouts.

AI Context-Aware Translation: More Consistent, More Accurate

Long articles with complex jargon often trip up AI due to memory limitations or ambiguity. That’s where “AI Smart Context” comes in.

It pre-summarizes and analyzes the full page before translating, ensuring smoother continuity, consistent terminology, and less abbreviation chaos in translated long-form web pages, PDFs, or ebooks.

Available to Pro users using services like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. Just toggle it on under Settings → Basic Settings → Enable AI Context-Aware to experience a noticeable upgrade in translation quality.

BabelDOC PDF: Professional Document Translation, Beautifully Preserved

Formulas, tables, footnotes—traditional PDF translators usually either botch the formatting or lose the meaning. BabelDOC PDF changes the game. It intelligently detects document structure, extracts layout details, and restores the original design with spot-on translations.

It’s been one of GitHub’s top trending repos and supports over 100 language pairs. Perfect for academic papers, financial reports, and whitepapers, with support for niche formats and structures.

Free users get 1,000 pages/month with Zhipu’s GLM Flash model. Pro users? Up to 10,000 pages and access to premium engines like OpenAI and DeepSeek.

Text Selection Translation: Smooth, Distraction-Free Support

Stumble across a new word while reading, but don’t want to translate the whole page? Stop copy-pasting and switching tabs. Just highlight it, translation appears instantly.

Translate any word, phrase, sentence, or paragraph on the fly. Hover for the subtle icon, or trigger with a shortcut key. You’ll get full definitions, audio pronunciation, and zero interruptions.

Perfect for language learners and anyone who wants translation that blends in quietly. Available to all users.

AI Subtitles: Your Personal Subbing Squad

Auto-translated subtitles help—but often feel robotic. And what if there’s no subtitle track at all? Enter AI Subtitles.

For videos with CC, we polish translations using sentence restructuring and context optimization, making them feel human-edited. For videos without CC, we transcribe audio, reformat timing, and generate clean, editable subtitles—ready to download.

Compatible with YouTube, Netflix, X (formerly Twitter), and more. Pro users get 50 subtitle credits/month. Great for casual watching or content repurposing.

Zotero Integration: The Researcher’s Dream Translator

If you manage papers with Zotero, you can now translate them too—without leaving your workflow. Our Zotero plugin (Pro only) taps into BabelDOC to translate local PDFs while preserving formulas, images, and layout. It generates a translation attachment linked to the original file.

Setup is easy: Download the .xpi file from our Github repository site → install locally → bind with an auth code → right-click any PDF to translate.

Perfect for students, researchers, and academics juggling massive libraries. Now, language won’t be the barrier between you and the literature.

Immersive Translate now offers a Family Plan—3 independent Pro seats for just $179/year. That’s only $4.97/month per person.

All features, fully unlocked: AI subtitles, BabelDOC, image translation, PDF Pro, and more. Quotas are separate, so no one steps on each other’s toes.

Perfect for households, study groups, or mini teams that want maximum value at minimal cost.
