Aar318's Twitch & Kick Chat Translator

Translate Twitch and Kick chat messages to your selected language in real time.

Aar318's Twitch & Kick Chat Translator: Real-Time Chat Translation Translate Twitch and Kick chat into your chosen language as messages arrive. The extension works directly inside each site's chat, replaces eligible message text with its translation, and keeps the original text available on hover. New Features: - Improved mobile chat controls and touch targets. - Positioned the Kick translator globe directly left of the chat-settings cog. - Added long-press access to language choices on touch devices. - Kept the language menu within phone-sized viewports. - Anchored the Twitch translator globe directly to the left of the chat-settings gear. - Added self-healing placement when Twitch rebuilds or rearranges its chat toolbar. - Reattaches translation observation if Twitch or Kick replaces the chat message container without navigation. - Added stale-DOM protection to cached translations and fixed original-text tooltip positioning. - Fixed the language menu closing when its own contents were scrolled. - Added reliable wheel, scrollbar, touch, and click-drag scrolling without accidental language selection. - Stabilized toolbar health checks so an already-correct globe is not repeatedly moved, and hidden channel-points shells no longer make it collapse or flicker. Key Features: Real-Time Translation: Translates both visible chat history and newly arriving messages through Google Translate's public endpoint. Twitch and Kick Support: Uses platform-specific chat detection and controls designed for both Twitch.tv and Kick.com. Simple On/Off Controls: Click the in-chat globe button or the extension icon to toggle translation. The active/inactive extension icon stays synchronized with the current tab. Nine Target Languages: Choose English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, or Chinese from the in-page menu or extension-icon menu. Original Text on Hover: Translated messages receive a subtle dotted underline; hover to see the original message. Target-Language Flag: While active, the chat button displays a flag representing the selected target language. Translate Selected Text: Select text on Twitch or Kick, right-click it, and choose "Translate selected text" to open a compact original/translation result window. Optional In-Chat Button: Hide or restore the injected globe button from the extension-icon menu. The control also stays out of the way during fullscreen viewing and channel-points redemption panels. Efficient Processing: Skips messages of two words or fewer, batches translation requests, avoids duplicate work with an in-memory cache, and restores original text immediately when disabled. Page-Navigation Resilience: Reconnects its chat observer and controls as Twitch or Kick dynamically changes pages. Privacy Focused: No account, analytics, or tracking is used. Only eligible chat text or explicitly selected text is sent to Google Translate for translation. The target language and in-chat-button visibility preference are stored locally. The extension starts disabled by default so translation only begins when the user enables it.
