User reviews

翻訳元の言語を勝手に検出し、間違えるので毎回自分で再選択する。「設定」を開いても翻訳元の言語を手動で選定／設定できない。不便。

es buena rápida y sin abrir mas pantallas solo me gustaría que pudiera traducir textos muy largos

Ricardo Gutierrez, 2025-02-22

Всё хорошо. Только не добавляет собственные переводчики (белая страница после кнопки сохранить). Возможно это отправляется куда-то на сервер, но я не понимаю, у меня ничего не добавляется. _________________________ It's all good. Just don't add your own translators (white page after the save button). Perhaps this is sent somewhere to the server, but I don't understand, I don't have anything added.
