Immersive Translate

Immersive Translate is a bilingual, side-by-side translation extension that uses large language models for cross-language understanding. It supports real-time translation of web pages, PDFs, EPUB e-books, and video subtitles, and is available as a browser extension and in other forms. Common use cases include:

• Read foreign-language articles or documentation with the original text and translation side by side.
• Translate PDF reports or EPUB books while keeping layout and structure.
• Generate or translate video subtitles for learning or accessibility.

You can use the ScitiX Model Inference API as the translation backend by configuring Immersive Translate to use the OpenAI or compatible API option and pointing it to the platform’s Chat Completions endpoint.

​

Configure

​

1. Install the extension

Open the Immersive Translate official site and choose Install browser extension or the equivalent option. Pick the version for your browser, such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, and install it.

​

2. Configure API and model

Click the Immersive Translate extension icon and open Settings. In the settings page, set: Save the settings. Tip

• Keep your API Key private. Do not share it or commit it to version control.
• General-purpose or multilingual models, such as Qwen or DeepSeek models, work well for translation. Choose a model with sufficient context length for long documents.
• Translation of long texts can consume many tokens. Be aware of the platform’s pricing and rate limits.

​

3. Set translation service to OpenAI

Set the translation service to OpenAI, or to the option that allows a custom API endpoint.
