FluentRead — A Free, Open-Source Alternative to Immersive Translate that Keeps Your Data Local

FluentRead is an open-source alternative to Immersive Translate. It might be a bit more basic in terms of features, but it's open-source and stores your data locally (except for the AI part). It's a great choice if you care about privacy. Unlike Immersive Translate, which requires a subscription for AI features, FluentRead lets you just plug in your own API keys. Supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and more.

FluentRead is an open-source alternative to Immersive Translate. It might not be quite as polished yet, but the best part is that it’s open-source and keeps your data on your own machine (except for the AI processing). It’s perfect for anyone who really values privacy. Also, while Immersive Translate usually requires a paid membership for AI translation, FluentRead lets you just plug in your favorite AI APIs directly. It works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and all major browsers.
