Hebrew has a gender for everything. Now your translator does too. baba's side panel shows whether a verb, noun, or adjective is masculine or feminine and displays the alternate form for comparison.
Slang & Idiom Decoder
Modern Hebrew is full of slang. We actually speak it. Everyday Israeli slang, army terms, Mizrahi expressions, WhatsApp shorthand. baba knows the difference between textbook Hebrew and what people actually say.
Transliteration

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on all websites?
Yes. baba works on any webpage where you can select text: Israeli news sites like Haaretz and Ynet, Google search results, emails in Gmail, social media, Wikipedia, government sites, PDFs opened in Chrome, and more. If you can highlight the text, baba can translate it.
Is it the same as the baba mobile app?
They share the same translation engine (HebrewCore™) and the same commitment to gender-aware, slang-savvy translations. But the extension is purpose-built for desktop web browsing. It works inline on any webpage without copy-paste. The mobile app is better suited for camera-based translation, voice input, and offline use. Many users have both.
Do I need a baba account to use the extension?
No account needed for the free tier. Install and start translating immediately. You'll need to sign in or create a free account if you want to upgrade to Pro or sync settings across devices.
Is it safe? What data does the extension see?
baba only reads text that you explicitly highlight or ask it to translate. It does not read your entire browsing history, capture passwords, or run in the background collecting data. The extension only activates when you interact with it. All translation requests are sent securely over HTTPS.
What languages can it translate Hebrew into?
Currently Hebrew → English is the primary direction, with full gender-awareness and slang support. Additional target languages (French, Spanish, Russian, and more) are in active development. The extension will update automatically as new languages are added.
Does it work with Hebrew text that has no vowel marks (niqqud)?
The extension accepts unvocalized Hebrew, which is common in everyday text. Because words without niqqud can be ambiguous, use the surrounding sentence and verify important wording rather than relying on an isolated word.
What Is the baba Hebrew Translator Chrome Extension?
The baba Hebrew translator is a free Chrome extension that translates Hebrew on any webpage in one click. No copy-paste. Highlight Hebrew on Ynet, Haaretz, Gmail, WhatsApp Web, or a PDF and baba returns a gender-aware translation with curated Israeli slang and idiom support decoded and full transliteration, even for unvocalized Hebrew (no niqqud). It is free on Chrome, with a companion app that is also free on iOS and Android for voice and camera translation.
Is the baba Chrome extension free?
Yes. The extension is free to install with no account required, and the baba app is free on iOS and Android too. A Pro tier raises the limit to 250,000 characters a month and syncs settings across devices.
How do I translate Hebrew to English in my browser?
Add baba to Chrome, then highlight any Hebrew text on a webpage. baba shows an instant English translation inline, with the speaker's gender, slang meaning, and a Latin-letter transliteration so you can read it aloud.
How is baba different from Google Translate?
Generic translators treat Hebrew as a string of words. baba was built for Hebrew: it handles gender (Hebrew verbs and adjectives change by who is speaking), decodes modern slang, and disambiguates unvocalized text using context. Those are the parts generic tools get wrong.

|---|---|---|
| Inline on any webpage (no copy-paste) | Yes | Copy-paste needed |
| Gender-aware translation | Yes | No |
| curated Hebrew slang decoded | Yes | Often wrong |
| Unvocalized Hebrew (no niqqud) | Built for it | Frequently misreads |
