Questions people ask
How do I translate an X Article?
Tap Share on the Article in the X app and choose Translate, or paste its link here. It opens translated in a few seconds.
X already translates posts. Why use xread?
X translates posts as you scroll. xread is made for long Articles: it translates the whole Article at once, keeps its format and layout, and can show each paragraph with its original beneath it.
Can I translate X Articles on an iPhone?
Yes. Add Translate to your share sheet once, and it is there on every Article in the X app. It works the same on Android.
Does the translation keep the Article's formatting?
Yes. It keeps the same format and layout as on X, and code is never translated.
Can I keep a copy of an Article?
Yes. Once you’ve bought articles, export any article you’ve read as a PDF that looks just like the page, or as Markdown.
Which languages can I read in?
34 languages, all listed under “Translate into” at the top of this page. The whole app switches to the one you choose.
Do I need an X account?
Yes. You sign in with your X account, with no password, and xread never posts for you.
