Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why doesn't the triple space trigger work? A: Some websites may override keyboard shortcuts. Try using the hotkey (Alt+T) or context menu instead.

Q: Is it free to use? A: Yes! The extension uses Google Translate by default which is free. OpenAI API is optional.

Q: How do I change the translation hotkey? A: Go to your browser's extension shortcuts settings and customize the keyboard shortcut.

Q: My API key isn't working, what should I do? A: Verify your API key is correct and has sufficient credits. For OpenRouter, ensure you've set the correct API Base URL.

Q: Which languages are supported? A: The extension supports all languages available in Google Translate and your configured AI model.

Q: How do I change the translation target language? A: Go to the extension settings and select your preferred target language.
