Hey HN,

I am solopreneu and I am not a native English speaker. I love scrolling technology newsletter to grab some interesting information or tools. Since my English skill doesn't allow me to find interesting things as quickly as my native language does, forcing myself to skim through English news with the idea of working on my English only frustrates me and doesn't always allow me to understand the information correctly. Then, I thought maybe an bilingual display of web content will be helpful. So here is BiRead!

I also design a learning mode on BiRead. When this mode is activated, the translation on the web page becomes blurred, leaving only the foreign language visible. The translation (e.g. your mother language) will only become clear when you hover your mouse over the blurred text. Our goal with this design is to allow learners to make the first understand through the foreign language, and then check the translation to confirm whether their understanding is correct. Just click to our page to see how it works on use cases!

BTW, BiRead also supports AI-powered translation.

I hope this extension will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls

Luke
