  - Works with multiple AI translation providers including Gemini, OpenRouter, and MyMemory; with automatic fallback if one service fails
  - MyMemory works out of the box with no API key or account required
  - Full RTL support for Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, and Urdu
  - Supports 50+ languages, including major European and Asian languages
  - Dark mode, copy-to-clipboard, and a clean minimal interface
