What it does

Written by AI from the README

Translates a paper into Chinese with DeepSeek and shows it beside the original with synchronised scrolling. Figures, tables and formulas stay as in the original.

Gives a laid-out bilingual reading view without leaving Zotero. You need a DeepSeek API key. Builds for macOS Apple Silicon and Windows x64 bundle their own Python.
