Vini OpenRouter Code Translator

Convert source code between programming languages in VS Code using a multi-model OpenRouter ensemble.

Features

• Convert the current file or an entire project.
• Supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, C, C#, Go, Rust, PHP, Kotlin, Swift, Ruby, and Scala.
• Uses multiple models and selects the best output:
  • anthropic/claude-3-haiku
  • openai/gpt-4o
  • deepseek/deepseek-v3.2
• Cleans and validates model output before saving.
• Keeps converted files in converted/ while preserving project structure.
• Optional simplification pass after project conversion.

Requirements

Set your OpenRouter API key. When you first use the extension without a key, you'll see two buttons in the side panel:

• Get API Key from OpenRouter — Opens OpenRouter to create a key
• Paste API Key in Settings — Opens VS Code settings at the API key field

Or manually set it in VS Code settings:

1. Open Settings.
2. Search for Code Translator: OpenRouter API Key.
3. Paste your OpenRouter API key.

For local development, .env is also supported in extension/workspace root:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

1. Open Command Palette and run Code Translator: Pick Language and Convert.
2. Choose:
   • Current File, or
   • Whole Project
3. Select the target language.
4. Converted output is written to converted/.

You can also use the Code Translator side panel and click:

• Convert File
• Convert Project

Notes

• Skips files in node_modules, .git, and converted.
• Large files may be skipped in project mode for stability.
• Output quality depends on model/API availability.
