Chat-with-KB

AI-based Translator

Translation and assistant browser extension for Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

Features

• Background Execution: Translation, polishing, dictionary, and chat requests run in a background service worker. Switching tabs or closing the popup will not interrupt active operations, and finished results are automatically saved to your history.
• Translation: Translate between Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. Auto-detects source language.
• Text Polishing: Polish text and explain changes in Chinese.
• Dictionary: Definitions, parts of speech, root/affix analysis, and bilingual example sentences.
• Chat: Sidebar chat assistant with conversation memory.
• History: Saves the last 10 translation records locally.

• Model: your Ollama model name, such as llama3, qwen2.5, or mistral
