What is Immersive Translate AI?

Immersive Translate is a browser extension that provides real-time translation of web pages whilst preserving the original layout and formatting. It displays translations alongside the original text in a bilingual format, rather than replacing it entirely. The tool works across multiple devices and browsers, with a free tier that covers most translation needs. It's designed for people who regularly read content in foreign languages, whether for work, study, or leisure, and want to understand pages without leaving their browser.
