NoaLingua Language
Learning Serbian: what actually works
Serbian is one of the 28 languages NoaLingua offers, and 7 of its ten capability axes are verified from the extension's own registries. This page lists what exists, what is documented as absent, and the specific things about Serbian that do not apply to any other language.

Capability by capability
| Capability | State | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome on-device translation per pair | No | en–sr has no Chrome on-device model at all — unavailable, not merely undownloaded |
| YouTube caption translation | Yes | Explicitly named as covered by YouTube's translation |
| Cloud translation (MyMemory) per pair | Not documented | Opt-in, quota-limited, and the only source that sends sentence text off your device. |
| Offline word dictionary per pair | Not documented | FreeDict/WikDict coverage is per pair and not enumerated |
| Grammar tables (UniMorph) | Yes | 31 MB · adjectives (424,520), verbs (221,222) and nouns (150,844) |
| Definitions & IPA (Wiktionary / kaikki) | No | No kaikki dictionary exists for this language — probed and returned 404 |
| Example sentences (Tatoeba) per pair | Yes | Real bilingual sentences, searched locally once downloaded. |
| Speech recognition (Chrome pack) | Not documented | Chrome owns this pack; availability is Chrome's, not ours |
| Uncommon-word highlighting | No | No bundled list, so uncommon-word underlining does not run |
| Punctuation for captions without it | Yes | One 56 MB model covering 47 languages, downloaded once per profile. |
Specific to Serbian
Things that are only true here
- There is no Chrome on-device translation model for English–Serbian. It is unavailable, not merely undownloaded — which is precisely why the extension keeps YouTube’s own caption translation as a fallback.
- Serbian is one of two languages the handbook names as covered by that YouTube fallback, so translation works on YouTube — but not offline.
- There is no kaikki/Wiktionary dictionary for Serbian at all. It was probed and returns 404, so definitions and IPA come from the online sources or not at all.
- Serbian grammar comes from UniMorph’s `hbs` Serbo-Croatian macrolanguage dataset — 840,799 rows, unusually adjective-heavy (424,520). It does not distinguish Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian spelling, which is a limitation of the upstream data.
- Serbian is covered by the punctuation model.
Common questions
Does NoaLingua work for Serbian?
Serbian is one of the 28 languages in the learning and translation selectors, and 7 of its ten capability axes are verified. The table on this page shows exactly which ones — including the ones that are documented as absent.
Can I get grammar tables for Serbian?
Yes. 31 MB · adjectives (424,520), verbs (221,222) and nouns (150,844) Conjugation and declension tables open at the exact form you clicked.
Does Serbian work offline?
Partly. Example sentences work offline once downloaded, but there is no offline dictionary for Serbian — definitions come from the online sources or not at all.
What does “not documented” mean in the table?
That we have not verified it ourselves, so we will not claim it either way. It is not the same as “no”. Several of those columns depend on data Chrome owns and does not publish per language.
