  💡 Why I built this
  I created Swift Translate because I found existing tools disruptive to my flow. I wanted a native-like experience, a mini Google Translate that follows you so you can stop the endless cycle of:
  - Opening a new tab.
  - Copy-pasting text.
  - Switching back and forth to find your place.
  - Repeat.
