  The Surgical, Layout-Safe Translator that Redditors Have Been Waiting For.
  
    Browse international subreddits, understand foreign comments instantly, and participate in global discussions without ever breaking Reddit's layout or reloading the page.
  
  
    💡 THE PROBLEM: WHY NATIVE TRANSLATION SUCKS ON REDDIT
    Let's be honest: using Chrome's built-in "Translate Page" on Reddit is a nightmare.
     1. The "Hammer" Approach: It translates everything blindly. Suddenly, specific terminology is ruined, upvote buttons break, and the UI glitches.
     2. The "Scroll Rage": Often, clicking translate forces a page reload. If you were 20 minutes deep into a megathread (r/all or r/AskReddit), you lose your position instantly.
     3. Read-Only: It helps you read, but it leaves you helpless when you want to reply.
  
  
    Our Solution: A Better Translator for Reddit that uses Local AI to perform "surgical" translations exactly where you need them. No reloads. No broken UI.
  
  
    🚀 CORE FEATURES FOR POWER USERS
    ✅ Surgical Translation: Translate specific comments or post bodies with a single click. The rest of the page remains untouched.
    ✅ Layout Safe: Upvote arrows, nested replies, and usernames remain perfectly intact.
    ✅ Never Lose Your Scroll: Since translation happens dynamically (DOM injection), you never lose your place in the infinite scroll.
    ✅ Write & Reply (Alt+T): Don't just lurk—participate! Type your reply in your language, press Alt+T, and we translate it into the subreddit's language instantly.
    ✅ Universal AI Support: Connect Ollama, DeepSeek, or GPT-4 to handle slang and internet culture better than Google Translate.
  
  
    🤖 UNRIVALED AI FLEXIBILITY (BYOAI)
    Redditors know that context matters. Choose the "Brain" that understands the sub you are browsing:
  
  
    1. 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE (Local AI)
     * Chrome Built-in AI: Use Gemini Nano directly within Chrome.
     * Ollama Integration: Run Llama 3, Mistral, or DeepSeek locally on your machine. Perfect for privacy and uncensored translation.
  
  
    2. CLOUD POWER (OpenAI Compatible)
     * API Keys: Connect your own Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Grok, or GPT-4o keys.
     * Why? LLMs understand "Reddit slang", memes, and sarcasm much better than standard translation engines.
  
  
    ✨ DISPLAY MODES (YOU CONTROL THE VIEW)
     * Double View (Recommended): See the original comment AND the translation separated by a line. Essential for learning a language or checking nuance.
     * Hover-to-Translate: Quickly scan post titles on r/all by hovering your mouse.
     * Inline Replacement: Cleanly swap the text if you prefer a native look.
  
  
    🌍 SUPPORTED LANGUAGES (100+)
    Seamlessly browse r/de (German), r/france (French), r/es (Spanish), r/anime (Japanese), or r/kpop (Korean).
    We support: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Polish, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese,
    and many more.
  
  
    ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
    Q: Does this work on the "New New" Reddit layout (Shreddit)?
    A: Yes! We constantly update the extension to support Reddit's changing DOM structure.
  
    Q: Can I use this to learn a language?
    A: Absolutely. Use "Double View" to compare the original comment with the translation. It's a great way to learn colloquialisms on international subs.
  
  
    Q: Why use Ollama/Llama 3 instead of Google Translate?
    A: Standard translators often struggle with Reddit slang (e.g., "based", "cringe", "ratio"). Modern LLMs like Llama 3 or DeepSeek understand internet culture much better.
  
  
    Q: Is it really free?
    A: Yes. Basic translation and Local AI features are unlimited and free. No paywalls for reading comments.
  
  
    Q: How do I reply in a foreign language?
    A: Type your comment draft, press Alt+T, and it will be translated inside the Reddit text editor. Then just hit "Comment".
  
    🛡️ PRIVACY FIRST
    Unlike server-side translations that may log your browsing history, our Local AI approach allows you to translate text directly on your device. Your browsing habits on Reddit stay
    private.
