In plain English

This is a local translation tool that runs entirely on your own computer without sending data to any external service. It uses HY-MT1.5-1.8B-ONNX, which is a compact AI translation model packaged in a format designed to run efficiently on everyday hardware. ONNX is an open format for running AI models, meaning it can work across different types of devices without requiring a specialized setup. Because the model runs locally, your text stays private and translation works offline. The project is built with HTML, suggesting it has a simple browser-based interface. Beyond these basics, the README provides no further detail about supported languages, usage instructions, or system requirements.
