Page Translation

WebLibre includes built-in page translation powered by an on-device translation engine. You can translate many web pages directly in the browser without sending the page text to a cloud translation service.

How to Translate a Page

  1. Open the page you want to translate.

  2. Open the browser menu.

  3. Tap Translate Page.

  4. In the translation sheet, choose the language the page is currently in under From.

  5. Choose the language you want under To.

  6. Tap Translate.

WebLibre tries to detect the page language for you, so the From field may already be filled in.

If the page has already been translated, the menu entry changes from Translate Page to Translated.

Restoring the Original

If you want to switch back to the untranslated page:

  1. Open the translation sheet again.

  2. Tap Show Original.

If the page is already translated and you open the translation sheet again, you can also use Retranslate to change the language pair.

Model Downloads

The first time you translate a language, WebLibre may need to download one or more language models. This requires an internet connection.

After the download finishes, the models stay on your device so future translations for the same languages can work without downloading them again.

Privacy

Translation happens on your device using downloaded language models. Your page content is not sent to an external translation service.

When Translation Is Not Available

Page translation is not available while Reader Mode is active. Switch back to the normal page view first, then try again.

If you do not see Translate Page, translation may also be unavailable for that page, language pair, or device.
