About this extension
A browser extension designed to translate the text you are writing directly within any input field, eliminating the manual process of copying and pasting into an external translator.

The operation is based on a keyboard shortcut. After typing, the user triggers the hotkey, and the original text is replaced by the translation in the configured target language. The translation happens in the same field you are typing in, without opening new windows.

FEATURES
- Multiple Provider Support: Allows choosing between the Google Translate, DeepL, and MyMemory APIs (the default option requires no API key).
Customizable Hotkey: Trigger translations from any webpage with a configurable shortcut (default: Alt + Q).
- Language Control: : Quickly select and swap your source and target languages.
- Local History: Recent translations are saved in your browser for reference and can be cleared at any time.

PRIVACY AND DATA
The extension's settings, API keys, and history are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. The extension does not transmit data to any of its own servers; communication occurs only between your browser and the translation API you have selected.
