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.

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Translates whole PDFs into bilingual PDFs that keep layout, formulas and tables, from the right-click menu, using your own LLM API key. Runs the pdf2zh engine locally, supports batch queues, and attaches the result to the item, side by side or stacked.

Whole-paper translation usually means a paid cloud service. This is an open-source, self-hosted alternative that works with any OpenAI-compatible model, and its interface is largely Chinese.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
