Better way of translating web pages in your browser so you can learn while you read

Here are the instructions:

  1. Install the Chrome extension Immersive Translate https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/immersive-translate/bpoadfkcbjbfhfodiogcnhhhpibjhbnh 
  2. Save this text to a file, name it something like settings.txt
    {
      "targetLanguage": "en",
      "updatedAt": "2023-03-12T20:59:13.922Z",
      "translationService": "bing",
      "translationLanguagePattern": {
        "matches": [
          "<all>"
        ],
        "excludeMatches": [
          "en"
        ]
      },
      "translationTheme": "dashedBorder"
    }
  3. Open this page chrome-extension://bpoadfkcbjbfhfodiogcnhhhpibjhbnh/options.html#import_export 
  4. Import the file you just saved
  5. Now, pages will look like this:

www.mydealz.de_deals_amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d-cpu-unter-300eur-inkl-company-of-heroes-3-2143878.png

If you can read the original text and the translated text side-by-side, you can learn by readying them both and understanding the pattern.

This also works with the Safari Browser on desktop and iPhones and also the Firefox browser on mobile.
