In this post I’m going to show you how you can use Imtranslator to create interlinear texts and read my articles in Spanish and keep English as a reference. After all, you are here to learn Spanish, right?

3# You’ll see how the extension creates interlinear chunks of text in Spanish.

End the week on a high!
