What it does

Written by AI from the README

A fork of Translate for Zotero with a selection popup that shows progress and failures, with retry, copy and service switching. An Add to note button saves the original, translation, source and page. Defaults to the Bing adapter.

Translations in the original popup could fail silently or overwrite one another. Text goes to the online service you choose, and its developer notes these web endpoints may change. Targets Zotero 10.

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.
