  I’d rather not send the pages I visit to Google’s or Deepl’s servers. This keeps translation local, which is an awesome feature.

  I guess the offline it’s mostly to advertise privacy. Or maybe can it translate pdf documents?

  Not necessarily. A lot of great open source projects are written in languages that I sure as heck do not understand. This is a great feature for all those cases, as well as the other cases of offlined content.

  More importantly, the reason this is being highlighted is because it means your website data isn’t going anywhere off your computer to be translated.

    I don’t think it translates Nerd to Common
