NoaLingua Language
Learning Thai: what actually works
Thai is one of the 28 languages NoaLingua offers, and 5 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 Thai that do not apply to any other language.

Capability by capability
| Capability | State | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome on-device translation per pair | Not documented | Varies by pair; Chrome decides |
| YouTube caption translation | Not documented | YouTube covers 156 languages; the list is not published per language |
| 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) | No | No UniMorph dataset exists. Thai is an analytic language — there is genuinely nothing to conjugate or decline. |
| 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 | No | Not among the model's 47 languages |
Specific to Thai
Things that are only true here
- Thai has neither a UniMorph nor a kaikki pack — the same shape as Vietnamese, and for the same reason on the grammar side: Thai is analytic.
- Thai is one of six supported languages the punctuation model does not cover.
- Tatoeba example sentences are available offline.
Common questions
Does NoaLingua work for Thai?
Thai is one of the 28 languages in the learning and translation selectors, and 5 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 Thai?
No. No UniMorph dataset exists. Thai is an analytic language — there is genuinely nothing to conjugate or decline. Everything else — definitions where available, examples, saving and review — works normally.
Does Thai work offline?
Partly. Example sentences work offline once downloaded, but there is no offline dictionary for Thai — 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.
