Web Chinese Translator

Localizes the GitHub UI into Chinese; optional selection and per-site auto translation via your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint

Web Chinese Translator helps you read supported websites in your preferred language, with local interface dictionaries and optional translation through an AI endpoint you configure. LOCAL INTERFACE TRANSLATION • Translate GitHub, Gist and GitHub Status interface labels into Simplified or Traditional Chinese. Repository content, comments and code are preserved by the GitHub interface dictionary. • Built-in dictionaries cover 26 groups of developer, AI, cloud and community sites. These dictionaries work locally and do not call a model. Supported dictionary languages include Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. • Add your own local dictionary entries and exclusions, switch light/dark appearance, and restore original text. OPTIONAL MODEL TRANSLATION • Translate selected text, translate the current page, or explicitly enable automatic translation for individual sites. • Choose selection assistance or optional reading assistance, and control automatic popups and the floating entry. • Bring your own OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions or Responses endpoint, model and API key. No translation service, API key or paid plan is bundled. Your provider may charge for use. • Extension UI languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. DATA AND CONTROL Local dictionaries do not send webpage text to a model. Model features send the selected or relevant visible text and necessary page context directly to your chosen endpoint. Optional reading assistance can also include up to four recent reading-topic clues from other tabs/sites; these short-lived clues are kept in session storage and expire after 30 minutes. Ordinary page translations may be cached locally; you can clear the cache in settings. API keys and custom request headers are stored locally in the extension IndexedDB, are not synced with a browser account, and are sent only to the configured endpoint. The developer does not receive your keys or page content. Sensitive-page filters are heuristic; review the privacy notice before enabling model features on private content. Incognito windows are not supported. This independent MIT-licensed project is based on github-chinese and is not affiliated with GitHub or the websites it translates.
