Hawk Translate di hawk

Hawk Translate is a fast, distraction-free translation and language-learning companion for Firefox. Highlight any text on any website and you get an instant translation, a natural-voice pronunciation, and — for single words — grammar and synonyms to grow your vocabulary.

What you can do
Select and translate. Highlight text; a compact bubble shows the translation right next to your selection.
Listen. Click the 🔊 speaker to hear the original or the translation in a natural voice. Click twice on the same text for a slower repeat — great for pronunciation practice.
Learn vocabulary. When you select a single word, Hawk shows its part of speech (noun / verb / adjective…) and synonyms, so you see the whole word family at a glance.
Full-text popup. Click the toolbar icon to type or paste any text, pick your target language, and translate.
Right-click menu. Translate any selection with a right-click — no mouse travel.
Multiple translation backends — no key required
Hawk Translate works out of the box with zero setup. Pick your preferred service in Options:

Google — free, default, fast, high quality
MyMemory — free, no key, ~5,000 words per day
DeepL — bring your own free key (500k chars/month)
Microsoft Azure Translator — bring your own free key (2M chars/month)
LibreTranslate — open-source; configure your own endpoint
If your chosen backend fails, an inline "Try with…" chooser instantly retries with another provider — no settings trip required.

Designed for language learners
A speaker on both the source and the translation lets you hear the original language as well as understand it.
The Word families panel reveals nuance: seeing synonyms grouped by part of speech builds vocabulary faster than a flat translation.
Compact, focused UI that gets out of your way.
Your controls
Theme: Auto / Light / Dark for popup and bubble.
Bubble style: Classic (compact) or Card (original and translation, each with its own speaker).
Auto-close: bubble dismisses itself after a few seconds — hover to pause. Configurable from 0 (off) to 120 seconds.
When to show the bubble: a small hawk icon you click, instantly on selection, or only via popup / right-click.
Supported languages
50+ translation languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Polish, Dutch, and more. Extension metadata localized in 20 languages.
