Blend any web page into the language you're learning
You read a page in a language you already know, and a share of its words appear in the one you're learning. Work them out from context, click one to check, and save the ones worth keeping.
Save words while you browse the web
See an unfamiliar word on any website? Save it to your LingoBlend dictionary with one click. No copy-pasting, no switching apps.
Set how much to blend
Pick 5% to 100%, and the page you are reading swaps that share of its words into the language you are learning — as you scroll.
Click a word you cannot place
The original shows beneath it, with one click to save. Copy the page and the original words come back out.
Or read in the language itself
On a page already in your target language, highlight any word you do not know and right-click to save it. Works in either direction, and syncs to the app for practice.
Also available for Edge, Opera, and Brave
Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language. The word aprender means to learn or acquire knowledge through study or experience...
A slider, and the page you were already reading
Set a slider anywhere from 5 to 100 percent and the extension rewrites the page you are on, swapping that share of its words into the language you are learning. It works on whatever is currently on screen and keeps pace as you scroll, so a 300-word post and a 12,000-word longread behave the same way. Nothing is reflowed or reformatted — the article you were reading stays the article you were reading, with unfamiliar words sitting in the middle of sentences you already understand.
The reading itself feels like guessing well. Context does most of the work, and when it does not, one click opens a small card: the target word, the original beneath it, and a Save word button. Pro adds Base form, which files the dictionary form plus a short grammar note, so escogido goes in as escoger. Copy anything and you get the original words back, so a quoted paragraph never lands in someone's inbox half in Spanish.
The page never leaves your computer
Translation runs on Chrome's built-in on-device translator. The text of the pages you read is never uploaded, never logged, and never sent to LingoBlend or anyone else; it is processed on your own machine. The extension ships with no analytics and no telemetry of any kind. The only things that leave your computer are your sign-in, a small profile read that tells the extension which languages you are learning, and the individual words you deliberately choose to save.
Blending is off until you turn it on. Installing asks for nothing broad; switching it on triggers Chrome's own page-access prompt, and you can skip that by pressing "Blend this page" for the current tab only. It stays off by default on Gmail, Google Docs, Drive, Calendar and Meet, Notion, Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Overleaf, Figma, LinkedIn, WhatsApp Web, Teams, Outlook and Discord, and it never touches form fields, code blocks, or anything you are typing. It also reads the page to work out what language it is actually in, rather than trusting the markup, and blends only pages written in the language you already know.
Reading in the language itself? Right-click any word
Blending is for pages in a language you already read. The other half is for the opposite case: you are on a Spanish news site, a French recipe, or a German forum thread, and you hit a word you do not know. Highlight it, right-click, and choose Save to LingoBlend. It is translated and filed without a copy-paste detour. It works in either direction — highlight a word in your own language by mistake and the extension notices, saving the pair the right way round — and it runs on any recent Chrome, with no blending and no page access needed.
Words saved that way and words saved from a blend land in the same place: your dictionary in the iOS and Android app, where they enter an Anki-style spaced repetition schedule at 10 minutes, an hour, and eight hours, then out to 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 120 days. From there each word is fair game for the five practice games: flashcards in recall or recognition mode, matching, fill in the blank, listening, and word quiz. You can attach an image and a personal memory trick to any entry, and hear it pronounced. The same vocabulary then reappears inside Smart Blend in the app, where you paste an article and read it at the blend level you choose. The extension catches words in the wild; the app is where they stick.
What it needs, and what it cannot do
Blending needs desktop Chrome 138 or newer, or Edge 148 or newer — those are the versions where the built-in on-device translator became available. There is no mobile, Firefox, or Safari version, and no point pretending otherwise. Right-click word saving is more forgiving and runs on any recent Chrome. The first time you use a language pair, Chrome downloads a language pack once from the popup; after that, blending works offline.
Sixteen of LingoBlend's seventeen languages blend. Serbian does not, because Chrome's on-device translator does not support it — right-click saving still works for Serbian, and blending inside the app is unaffected. The extension also skips any word it is not confident about rather than risk teaching you a wrong one, so a blend set to 40% can land a little under. It is free and unlimited, with no daily cap and no trial; the one Pro feature here is Base form. You do need a free LingoBlend account, because the extension reads which pair you are learning from your profile.
