Alternatives
Immersive Translate is very good at what it does, which is translation. People leave when they notice that translation alone is not producing progress — understanding a page is not the same as being able to produce any of it a week later.
Disclosure: NoaLingua is our product, and it is one of the options below. NoaSolutions earns money when people buy it. Every option here carries an honest reason not to pick it, including ours. Editorial policy.

The right alternative depends entirely on this. A shortlist that fixes missing platforms is not the shortlist that fixes wanting your data stored locally, and a page that ranks tools without asking is guessing.
| If this is your reason | Look at |
|---|---|
| You want to retain vocabulary, not just understand it | NoaLingua |
| You want speaking practice | NoaLingua |
| You want spaced review built in | NoaLingua or Anki |
| You need Firefox, Safari or mobile | Stay where you are |
The shortlist
Want the detailed head-to-head instead? NoaLingua vs Immersive Translate, with a sourced table and a research date.
Yes, and for many people that is the right answer — broad translation for comprehension, and a study tool on the specific videos and passages worth turning into active material. Just do not let two extensions control subtitles on the same player at once.
Not NoaLingua — it is Chrome and Chromium only, at version 138 or newer. If browser coverage is the reason you use Immersive Translate, that is a genuine reason to stay with it rather than switch.
Free, with every feature. No account, nothing to cancel, and your deck stays on your machine.
Add to Chrome — Free Add to Chrome The Chrome Web Store still lists this as LinguaCue — same extension, rename in progress.
