A few honest answers.
Should I translate every unfamiliar word?
No. Open a hint when a word blocks the story or keeps appearing.
What reading level do I need?
Short adapted stories can work from A2. An unadapted novel is usually more comfortable around B1–B2 or above, depending on the book. Try a sample first.
How is Plum different from a parallel translation?
The original English stays on the page. Translation appears when you ask for it.
Is it a full reading app?
Yes: light, sepia and dark themes, text settings, bookmarks, word audio and synchronized progress.
Which devices are supported?
Android, iPhone and iPad. New translations and synchronization need an internet connection.
