How to Translate Reddit From Portuguese to Chinese (Step-by-Step)
Portuguese-language content on Reddit is rich and worth reading. If Chinese 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 Portuguese post in place, directly into Chinese, with bilingual translation. The Portuguese stays visible and the Chinese 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 Portuguese paragraph on top and the translated Chinese 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.
