墨桥·InkBridge has Atlas grade B (use with care) because it hands your data to a program on this computer; we can't check where it goes from there. It works with Zotero 8–10. 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.
160
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.

Chinese and English translation in the PDF reader: select text to translate, plus dictionary lookup. It also offers screenshot translation that keeps formulas as LaTeX, and English pronunciation. Runs on local models you set up; no online services are used.
Academic reading across Chinese and English without sending text to a cloud service. Text and screenshot translation need an NVIDIA GPU with vLLM; the dictionary and speech parts need less.
