TransKit - Power Inline Translate Kit

TransKit is a Chrome extension that brings instant, AI-powered translation directly to your input fields. No more switching tabs or copy-pasting - just type, command, and translate.

What's new in v1.2.2?

Enhanced Text-to-Speech (TTS)

• New TTS Configuration Tab: A dedicated tab in the popup allows you to manage TTS providers.
• Custom TTS Providers: You can now add your own TTS services using custom URL templates, giving you more flexibility beyond the default Google TTS.
• Improved UI: The speaker icon now features a modern sound wave animation during playback, replacing the previous spinner.
• New: Line-by-Line Translation - Default granularity changed from "block" to "line" for more precise hover translations.
• New: Smart Boundary Detection - Intelligent detection of message boundaries on chat platforms (Discord, Slack, Telegram). No more accidentally selecting entire conversations.

CORE FEATURES

• Inline Translation
Select any text - in inputs, text areas, or anywhere on the page - and translate instantly without leaving your workflow. TransKit understands code syntax, preserves formatting, and translates context-aware.

• Domain-Aware Translation
Configure which domains auto-translate. Visit docs.ic.org, GitHub, or any documentation? TransKit remembers and translates automatically. No manual work, just smart defaults.

• Offline-First
Translate for free using Chrome's built-in AI (window.ai). No API key needed.
No internet? No problem. Works completely offline.

• Privacy-Focused
Open source. No tracking. Your data stays on your device. We don't log, store, or sell your translations.

• Optional API Integration
Need higher quality? Upgrade to Gemini, OpenAI, or your preferred API for production-grade translations. Your choice, your cost.

• 100+ Languages
Supports every major language pair. English ↔ Vietnamese, English ↔ Spanish, and 100+ others.
