Relingo’s job, in their words
The Relingo homepage describes automatic highlights and translations based on the difficulty level you set and the vocabulary you have collected. Collected words are meant to show up again as you keep reading. The browser how-to walks through English pages and YouTube: pin the icon, pick a graded level, open the page, highlight or “scratch” a word, bookmark it.
The same site lists more than highlights: immersive, word, and paragraph translation modes; flashcards; reading-time tracking; YouTube bilingual subtitles; podcast subtitles; PDF bilingual reading; RSS. The Chrome Web Store listing also names Netflix among the subtitle surfaces and describes learning English on sites such as Medium, Twitter, BBC, and YouTube.
BrowseAndLearn does not do that list. No flashcards. No subtitle track. No PDF mode. No claim that we will restock yesterday’s word on tomorrow’s homepage.
When each one fits
- Relingo — you want a level, a saved bank, and the same tool on articles and video. English-first browsing is a fine default.
- BrowseAndLearn — you want a thin overlay on the live site. Hover is enough. You will not open a deck tonight.
BrowseAndLearn is free for 7 days, then $5 a month; cancel anytime. Relingo lists its plans and limits on its own site.
Languages on each side
Relingo’s marketing site lists Chinese, Japanese, English, Korean, Spanish, French, “and more.” The Chrome listing’s English-learning copy names translation into Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. The full Relingo language list is on Relingo’s public pages.
BrowseAndLearn is twelve languages paired with English: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic in both directions, plus Hebrew as English → Hebrew. German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, and Hebrew are in our picker whether or not they appear on Relingo’s public feature list.
What this is not
It is not a Relingo clone, an English-only tutor, or a claim that fewer features means better memory. For in-page word swaps, see BrowseAndLearn vs Toucan. For a full bilingual page, see Immersive Translate alternative.
Questions
Does BrowseAndLearn replace Relingo?
Not if you want a personal word bank, flashcards, or bilingual subtitles on YouTube and Netflix. Relingo’s public pages are built around those. BrowseAndLearn has none of them.
What does BrowseAndLearn do on a web page?
It highlights a subset of useful words on the original site and shows a translation on hover. It does not score your level, restock a word book, or rewrite the page as a bilingual column.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some people keep Relingo for video and a saved list, and BrowseAndLearn for ordinary articles. Two highlighters on the same page can collide; turn one off if they fight.
