About Soft Translation
把鼠标放到任意段落上,按 Shift,译文以灰色斜体出现在原文正下方——
原文一字不动。
为什么安装它
· 永久免费:没有订阅、没有按词计费、没有广告版。用它自己的本地模型
(llama.cpp / Ollama),你有一台能跑模型的机器,它就是免费的。
· 隐私握在自己手里:你翻译的文本只发往你自己填写的服务器地址,
不经过任何第三方翻译 API,开发者也接触不到你读到的任何内容。
· 不打扰:原文页面绝不被修改,译文柔和地插入在段落下方,
并镜像原文的对齐与缩进,原文译文可以随意来回看。
· 对学术内容友好:自动识别 Markdown 与数学公式,LaTeX 公式渲染为
MathML、原样保留,绝不被翻译或破坏。
用途
· 原地阅读外文网页:arXiv 论文、技术文档、博客、新闻……
不用复制文字、不用切换应用。
· 一键完成:鼠标悬停在段落上按 Shift,译文即刻出现;
翻译失败时显示红色提示,5 秒后自动消失。
· 带上下文翻译:自动附带周边段落作为消歧上下文,供模型参考,
可开关、长度可调。
灵活配置
· 支持 llama.cpp(/v1/chat/completions)与 Ollama(/api/generate),
任何 OpenAI 兼容地址均可。
· "测试连接"一键拉取模型列表;目标语言、提示词模板、上下文均可配置。
· 端点可以是本机 127.0.0.1、局域网共享机器,或任何远程服务器。
前提:一台运行中的 OpenAI 兼容服务(llama.cpp / Ollama)及已加载的模型。

Soft Translation: hover over any paragraph, press Shift, and the
translation appears right below the original — in muted italic style,
with the original text untouched.
Why install it
- Free forever. No subscription, no per-word billing, no ads. It runs on
your own local model (llama.cpp or Ollama), so the only cost is the
hardware you already have.
- Your privacy, your endpoint. The text you translate goes only to the
server you configure yourself. It never passes through a third-party
translation API, and the developer never sees what you read.
- Non-intrusive by design. The page is never modified; the translation is
softly inserted below each paragraph, mirroring its alignment and
indentation.
- Built for technical content. Markdown and math are detected
automatically: LaTeX formulas are rendered as MathML and kept exactly
as they are — never translated or mangled.
What it does
- Read foreign-language pages in place — arXiv papers, documentation,
blogs, news — without copying text into another app.
- One keystroke: hover over a paragraph, press Shift, the translation
appears instantly. Failures show a brief red notice that auto-dismisses.
- Context-aware: surrounding text is automatically provided to the model
for disambiguation (toggleable, size adjustable).
Flexible setup
- Works with llama.cpp, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- One-click "Test connection" loads the model list; target language,
prompt template, and context are all configurable.
- Point it at 127.0.0.1, a machine on your LAN, or any remote server.
Requires: a running OpenAI-compatible server (llama.cpp / Ollama) with a
model loaded.
