English | 中文

The translator that does more than just translation - powered by OpenAI.

Why Yet another Translator

I have developed a Bob plugin that utilizes ChatGPT API to provide global word translation on macOS. However, since not all users have access to macOS to benefit from the plugin, I have created this project!

More than just a browser extension

What began as a Chrome extension has now evolved into a multi-platform desktop app that I am currently developing.

More than just translation

What began as a translation tool has now evolved to include surprisingly effective word polishing and summarization capabilities, accidentally.

Troubleshooting

• "OpenAI Translator" can’t be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

  

  • Click the Cancel button, then go to the Settings -> Privacy and Security page, click the Still Open button, and then click the Open button in the pop-up window. After that, there will be no more pop-up warnings when opening OpenAI Translator. 🎉

    

  • If you cannot find the above options in Privacy & Security, or get error prompts such as broken files with Apple Silicon machines. Open Terminal.app and enter the following command (you may need to enter a password halfway through), then restart OpenAI Translator:

    sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenAI\ Translator.app

• If you encounter a permission prompt every time you open it, or if you cannot perform a shortcut translation, please go to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Supporting Features to remove OpenAI Translator, and then re-add OpenAI Translator.
