Features

Providers: google-free (default), bing-free, google, bing, openai, gemini, deepseek
Languages: configurable source / target (default en → zh-CN)
Concurrent multi-line translation (concurrency, default 5) for Immersive and Slide
Three views:
- Slide — interleaved original + translation (with line-number gutter); opens beside the editor
- Slide (Only Target) — full translated text only
- Immersive — green italic inline decorations in the editor (#6A9955)
Per-file Translation panels — each source file gets its own tab (Translation: <filename>); translating another file does not overwrite previous results

Usage

Open a file in VS Code or Cursor.
Configure provider / languages / concurrency in Settings.
Run a translation command (or use the Slide shortcut).
For multiple files: each Slide run keeps a separate Translation: <file> tab; re-translating the same file updates that tab only.
