ChatGPT Translate

A VSCode extension to translate text using ChatGPT API.

Usage

Currently, the extension only supports translating text from the active editor selection.

To translate the selected text, press Ctrl+Alt+T (Windows, Linux) or Ctrl+Cmd+T (macOS), and the translated text will be insert to the end of the selection.

If you want to replace the selected text with the translated text, press Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows, Linux) or Ctrl+Cmd+R (macOS).

Attention:

Due to high latency of ChatGPT API, the result may delay for a few seconds. Please consider select a small text to translate.

Free account may have a quota limit, consider to upgrade to a paid account to increase the quota.

As the ChatGPT API has a limit of 4096 tokens or about 1000 characters, you must not select a large text to translate. If your selected text is too large, the result will be truncated.
