  [Overview] 
  Enhance your Reddit experience with seamless local language support. "Native Language Switcher for Reddit" is a lightweight utility that automatically detects and redirects you to the official translated version of Reddit posts.
  
  [Key Features]
  - Automatic Localization: Instantly checks if a post has an official Reddit translation (e.g., Korean, Spanish, French, etc.) and switches to it automatically.
  - Smart Fallback Logic: Not all posts have translations. Our extension verifies availability via a quick background check. If a translation is missing or invalid, it keeps you on the original page without annoying loops.
  - Customizable Targets: Choose your preferred language (Korean, English, Japanese, Spanish, etc.) through the simple popup menu.
  - One-Click Toggle: Easily enable or disable the translation feature with a single click.
  - Zero Impact on Performance: Built with lightweight JavaScript, it works in the background without slowing down your browsing experience.
  
  [How it works] 
  Reddit provides machine-translated versions of popular posts, but they aren't always easy to find. This extension appends the native translation parameter (tl={lang}) to the URL only when a valid translation exists, ensuring you always get the best reading experience.
