    🔒 PrivaTranslate - Privacy-First Web Page Translator
    
    Translate any web page using your local LLM via Ollama. Unlike cloud-based translators, PrivaTranslate ensures your browsing data never leaves your machine.
    
    ✨ KEY FEATURES:
    
    • 100% Local Processing - All translations happen on your device
    • Three Display Modes:
      - Overlay: Hover to see translations
      - Replace: Direct text replacement
      - Side-by-Side: Beautiful dual-column view
    • Flexible Configuration - Use any Ollama model
    • Context Menu Integration - Right-click to translate
    
    🛠️ REQUIREMENTS:
    • Ollama installed and running (https://ollama.ai)
    • A language model (e.g., ollama pull qwen2.5:7b)
    
    🔐 PRIVACY:
    • Zero data transmission to external servers
    • No analytics, no tracking
    • Completely open source
    
    Perfect for privacy-conscious users who want powerful translation without compromising their data.
    PrivaTranslate is a privacy-first web page translator for people who want translation without sending page content to a cloud translation service.
    
    Instead of relying on remote translation APIs, PrivaTranslate connects to a local LLM provider that you configure, such as Ollama, LM Studio, or another OpenAI-compatible local endpoint. Page text is sent only to your configured localhost provider.
    
    Key features:
    
    - Local LLM translation through Ollama, LM Studio, or OpenAI-compatible local servers
    - Three translation modes: Overlay, Replace, and Side-by-Side
    - Structure-preserving replacement for readable translated pages
    - Restore action for reverting replaced page text
    - Right-click context menu for translating pages or selected text
    - Configurable source language, target language, model, timeout, and concurrency
    - Optional batching for short phrases to reduce local request overhead
    - No analytics, no tracking, no developer-operated backend
    
    Translation modes:
    
    - Overlay: keep the original page intact and hover translated text to inspect the translation.
    - Replace: replace page text in place while preserving the surrounding page structure.
    - Side-by-Side: open a comparison view with original text and translated text in separate columns.
    
    Requirements:
    
    PrivaTranslate requires a local model provider running on your machine. For example, you can run Ollama locally and install a translation-capable model such as qwen2.5:7b, or use LM Studio with its local OpenAI-compatible server.
    
    Privacy:
    
    PrivaTranslate does not collect personal information, browsing history, page content, translation requests, translation results, analytics, telemetry, or tracking data. Settings are stored in Chrome storage. Optional provider API keys are stored locally in your browser profile.
    
    PrivaTranslate is not a cloud translation service. Translation quality and speed depend on the local model and provider you choose.
