AI Translation & Post-editing Assistant for VS Code
An extension designed to integrate and accelerate Machine Translation and Post-editing (MTPE) workflows.
📖 Overview
SheepWeave is an advanced Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) assistant designed for seamless translation and post-editing (MTPE) in VS Code.
Unlike traditional CAT tools, it adopts text editors for target editing, keeping operations lightweight and flexible.
