How to Translate Reddit From German to Vietnamese (Step-by-Step)
German-language content on Reddit is rich and worth reading. If Vietnamese is your stronger reading language, the usual friction applies: copy the text into a translator and lose the layout, or read slower than you would like.
This guide shows a third option — translate the German post in place, directly into Vietnamese, with bilingual translation. The German stays visible and the Vietnamese meaning appears right beside it, so you can read the meaning quickly and still check the original for any word, name, or phrase.
Demo note: the screenshots below are built in a real Reddit layout to show exactly how BothLang displays a bilingual page — the German paragraph on top and the translated Vietnamese directly beneath, with a hand-drawn arrow pointing at the translation.The workflow is identical on any post because BothLang works on whatever page you are viewing.
What you need
- BothLang installed in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox — see the download page.
- The extension pinned to your toolbar.
- A German-language post open in a tab.
Step 1 — Open the German post

Step 2 — Set Vietnamese as your target
Click the BothLang icon. Set Translate into to Vietnamese and Page display to Bilingual.
