Foreign words, jargon, code, errors — just select.
In your browser, a PDF, your IDE, a terminal — select anything you don't get and a blue dot floats up beside your cursor. Click it and AI translates, explains, or diagnoses it right there, streamed back in place. No API key, no setup — bring your own model when you want full control.
Powered by MiniMax M2.7-highspeed — free, no API key, no signup. Optional: plug in your own DeepSeek · Qwen · Zhipu · Kimi · OpenAI · Ollama key.
Same gesture every time — it guesses translate, define, or diagnose for you.
It reads what you picked and which app you're in, then guesses what you need — and gets sharper the more you use it.
Select a sentence in any language — get it in yours, right in place.
Select a stack trace or error code — get the cause and the fix, not a literal translation.
Select jargon or an acronym like RAG or idempotent — get a plain-language definition.
Select a product, company, or name — get a one-line identity and why it matters.
Select a regex, an API, or a snippet — get what it actually does.
Select a wall of text — get the key points instead of a word-for-word dump.
Guessed wrong? Select the same spot again — it takes another angle, and remembers, so next time it just knows.
It won't hijack your clipboard or steal your window. It shows up only for the second you need it.
Browsers, PDF readers, IDEs, notes apps, chat windows — drag-select in any app and it triggers.
Tokens render as they arrive — the first word shows almost instantly, no spinner-staring.
Youdao Dict / Bob-style: the dot hugs your selection and fades after ~2s if you don't click.
Opens with hosted MiniMax M2.7-highspeed — no key, no signup. Switch to any OpenAI-compatible model (DeepSeek / Qwen / Zhipu / Kimi / OpenAI / Ollama) when you want full control.
One codebase, one experience. Platform differences are isolated in a single file; behavior is identical.
Pause, settings, quit — one click from the menu bar / system tray. Config stays local in ~/.translate-popup.
Drag-select any text. A single click won't trigger it — no false positives, no interrupting your normal copy.
A blue dot floats at the top-right of your cursor and quietly fades after ~2s; hover it and it waits for you.
A card pops up and streams the translation. Esc to close, or copy the result with one click.
Auto bi-directional: select Chinese and it goes to English, select English and it goes to Chinese. The hosted MiniMax proxy needs no key at all; switch to AI and a provider preset auto-fills the Base URL and model — just add your key.
Opens free with no API key. Run from source with Python 3 — or build the lightweight single-file app (one small executable) with the included script.
On macOS, first grant access under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility / Input Monitoring, then restart.
