Two Ways to Translate

Helperbird gives you two routes, and they behave differently. Pick by whether you want to stay on the page.

Translate text reads what you selected and shows the translation in the Helperbird panel. You stay where you are.

Translate page and the right-click menu hand the job to Google Translate, which opens in a new tab with the whole page translated.

How It Works

To stay on the page:

  1. Select the text you want to translate
  2. Open Helperbird and choose Translate
  3. Pick your language and press Translate text
  4. The translation appears in the panel

To translate the whole page:

  1. Right-click anywhere on the page
  2. Choose Translate and pick your language

Google Translate opens in a new tab with the page translated. The same happens from the Translate page button in the Helperbird panel.

Excellent company and so easy to deal with. Robert showed great patience and answered every question I put. I use it for immersive reading and it is an excellent app. Well done.
