Automatically switches Reddit posts to your preferred native language if an official translation is available.
This extension detects when a Reddit post has a native translation available (e.g., ko, ja, zh-Hant, es, pt, fr, de, it, nl, sv, ru, th, vi, hi, and more) and seamlessly redirects you to the translated version. If the translation is unavailable or invalid, it gracefully keeps you on the original post.
- Automatic Detection: Instantly checks for available translations when you open a Reddit post.
- Smart Fail-safe Logic: If a translation is missing or broken (e.g., causes a redirect loop), the extension automatically reverts to the original post.
- Easy Toggle: Quickly enable or disable the extension via the simple popup menu.
- Instant Switching: Changing your preferred target language in the popup instantly applies the new language to your current page.
- Smart Language Detection: On first install, automatically detects your browser's language and sets it as the default translation target.
The easiest way to install the extension is through your browser's official add-on store:
