OpenAI Translator (by yetone) is an open-source word/sentence translation tool that also polishes and summarizes text across 55 languages. It ships as a Chrome/Firefox browser extension and a Tauri-based desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is fully BYOK: users paste their own API key into the settings UI and pick a provider. The source registers 14 provider engines (OpenAI, ChatGPT web, Azure OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Groq, Moonshot, Kimi, MiniMax, ChatGLM, Cohere, DeepSeek, Cerebras, Ollama), and supports a configurable custom API endpoint / OpenAI API proxy for OpenAI-compatible backends. No hosted account or vendor key is required, the user supplies all credentials.

How your API key is handled

Your API key is stored in your browser's local storage. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider.

Setup

Open the extension/app settings, paste your provider API key (kept in your browser), and pick a model.
