What makes it different

Not just a translator.A Hebrew intelligence layer.

Gender Intelligence™

Hebrew has a gender for everything. Now your translator does too.

"you are tired"

אתה עייף

ata ayef

Unlike every other translator, baba's side panel tells you whether a verb, noun, or adjective is masculine or feminine — and shows you the alternate form so you always understand the full picture.

Slang & Idiom Decoder

Modern Hebrew is full of slang. We actually speak it.

Input:

יאללה ביי

Everyday Israeli slang, army terms, Mizrahi expressions, WhatsApp shorthand — baba knows the difference between textbook Hebrew and what people actually say.

Transliteration

Can't read Hebrew letters? We'll spell it out for you.

שָׁלוֹם

shalom

hello / peace

תּוֹדָה

toda

thank you

בְּבַקָּשָׁה

bevakasha

please / you're welcome

Every word comes with its phonetic pronunciation in Latin script — so you can follow along, read aloud, or start picking up the language naturally.

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 unlocks unlimited translations and settings sync 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 — the parts generic tools get wrong.
