  description

  Pont is a light-weighted language translate extension, built for those who value simplicity over feature bloat. While many translation tools suffer from cluttered interfaces (looking at you, "I****sive Translate"), and frequently block results with over-sensitive content filters, Pont stays out of your way.
  
  Pont does two things, and it does them well:
  1. Translate selected text into your preferred language with one click.
  2. Explain highlighted phrases based on their specific context for better understanding.
  
  Supported Languages:
  Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Sundanese, Tagalog, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
  (Don’t see your language? Feel free to reach out and let me know!)

  Bring Your Own Key
  To keep Pont lightweight and private (we literally don't track anything from you), it runs using your own Google Gemini API key. This means you only pay for your actual usage (or you can simply use Google's generous free tier).
  
  Just paste your Gemini key into the settings, and you're ready to go.
  Support for more AI models is coming soon (stay tuned!)

  Massive credit to the JetBrains team for the original inspiration, if you love Grazie, you will love Pont.

  Pont is a lightweight, context-aware reading assistant designed to help you navigate foreign languages and complex topics effortlessly. Whether you are browsing global news, technical documentation, or research papers, Pont provides instant clarity without ever leaving your tab.
  
  While many translation tools suffer from cluttered interfaces and over-sensitive content filters, Pont is built on a "less is more" philosophy. It stays out of your way until you need it.
  
  Two Core Powers
  > Smart Translation: Instantly convert selected text into your preferred language with a single click.
  > Contextual Explanations: Highlight a complex phrase or idiom and get a deep explanation based on the surrounding context, not just a static dictionary definition.

  > Privacy-First: Built for users who want modern AI tools without sacrificing their browsing privacy.
  > JetBrains Inspired: Designed with a nod to the efficiency of tools like JetBrains Grazie, built for people who value a clean, professional workflow.
