Linguist is a privacy‑focused, full‑featured translation solution.

Features

Offline translation and privacy

Linguist can translate texts even without the internet - a feature that no other extension has. The offline translator allows you to translate texts on your device without sending any private messages over the internet, ensuring your privacy. Simply enable the feature on the options page to maintain your privacy while translating work emails and personal messages.

Full page translation

Fast and high-quality whole-page translation in one click, even for private pages that need login. Flexible configuration for auto-translation based on domain name and languages. Translation is available by hotkey. You may see the original text by hovering over it.

Translation for selected text

Encountering unfamiliar words while reading an online article? Just select the text on the page and click the button to translate it. You can speak the translated and original text and save the translation to your dictionary.

Text translation always at hand

If you need to translate any text, just click the Linguist button to open the pop-up window. No more tabs with translation services, just use Linguist.

Make your own personal knowledge base

Any translated text is saved in the history, and you can add your favorite translations to your dictionary. You can search for translations in both your dictionary and history, and even filter your translations by language. The dictionary feature is available even when you are offline, making it an ideal tool for language learners or travelers who require constant access to their word lists.

Custom translators

Unlike other browser extensions, Linguist is not just a wrapper over the Google Translator Widget; it's a complete and independent translation system. If you are not satisfied with embedded translators, you can use Linguist with your favorite translation service by adding a custom translator. Read more about it in

docs.

Open source

Linguist is completely free, open-source, and it does not collect any user data to sell.
