Native Translate is a privacy‑first Chrome extension that uses Chrome’s built‑in AI Translator and Language Detector. No cloud calls, no telemetry — your content never leaves the browser. Models download and run locally (with progress feedback) and are cached for offline use.

• Open‑source (MIT)

• Local‑first: translation and detection run on device

• Privacy by design: zero external translation requests by default

• Fast and robust: progress overlay, caching, RTL/LTR aware

• Minimal permissions, lightweight UI

Features

• Full‑page in‑page translation: append translated text under the original blocks to preserve layout

• Hover‑to‑translate: hold a modifier (Alt/Control/Shift) and hover a paragraph to translate just that block

• Automatic source language detection (on device) with download progress overlay

• Model caching per language pair; auto reuse when available

Requirements

• Chrome 138+ (Manifest V3, Built-in AI)
