About Native Language Switcher for Reddit

[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] - 25-Language Support: Covers every language Reddit officially translates, from Korean and Japanese to Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Hindi, and more — with separate Traditional and Simplified Chinese. - Automatic Localization: Instantly checks if a post has an official Reddit translation and switches to it automatically. - Smart Language Detection: On first install, automatically picks your browser's language as the default — no manual setup needed. - Smart Fallback Logic: Not all posts have translations. The extension verifies availability via a quick background check. If a translation is missing, it keeps you on the original page without redirect loops. - Instant Switching: Change your preferred target language anytime from the 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. [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. [Disclaimer] This is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic or Reddit. --- [What's new in v1.1.0] - Expanded from 6 to 25 supported languages (Chinese, Russian, Thai, Hindi, and more) - Redesigned popup with a clean, modern look - Smart browser language detection on first install
