## Description

An image translator. It uses ImageTrans to translate images on websites whether they are posters, brochures, comics, manga, manhua or webtoon. State-of-art OCR and AI translation services are used to guarantee the translation quality. 

Usage:
1. Install the extension and ImageTrans.
2. Right click on the image to translate it, which will replace the image with a translated version.
3. If the context menu is disabled, use the shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+F) to call the popup, use Tab to switch operations and press Enter to perform the operation.

It supports automatic image translation and screen capture translation, where it is possible to copy text in images.

It needs ImageTrans by default. You can use PaddleOCR without using ImageTrans but the functions are limited in terms of accuracy, speed, options and language support.

You can set up OpenAI API to use ChatGPT, Gemini, etc, for better translation.

Japanese furigana and Chinese pinyin annotation is also supported for language learning.
