How to Translate Reddit From English to Arabic (Step-by-Step)

Reading English content on a Reddit is easy, but sometimes you want the meaning in your own language. Arabic is spoken by millions, and being able to read an English post in Arabic — while keeping the English original in view — is ideal for learning and for getting the nuance exactly right.

This guide shows how to translate an English Post into Arabic in place, with the English source staying visible so you can compare the two.

Demo note: the screenshots below are built in a real Reddit layout to show exactly how BothLang displays a bilingual page — the English paragraph on top and the Arabic translation directly beneath, with a hand-drawn arrow pointing at the translation.

What you need

• BothLang installed in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox — see the download page.
• The extension pinned to your toolbar.
• An English Post open in a tab.

Step 1 — Open the English Post

Open the English piece you want to read.

Step 2 — Set Arabic as your target language
