Ask for GPT Inline has Atlas grade B (use with care) because it hands your documents to a program on this computer; we can't check where they go from there, and 1 more finding. It works with Zotero 9–10. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.
Downloads a .xpi file (0.2 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
5
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.

Translates PDF pages inside the Zotero reader and shows original and translation side by side, with a companion Mac or Windows app. Also provides word lookup, questions about selected text and Chrome page translation. AI features use your ChatGPT login through Codex.
Reading papers in another language usually means juggling windows. Layout-preserving translation keeps figures in place, and notes and annotations stay in Zotero. Needs the separate Ask for GPT app installed.
