README translation

Segment bilingual view or replace the visible README; Pro required

Purpose

Translate the README in the detail view, either paragraph by paragraph or as a full-text replacement of the visible document. Code blocks and tables may be less tidy than the original.

How to use it

The Translate control in the local-repo README toolbar.

Scene	Usually available
Manage / Explore local detail	Yes
Some Activity / remote previews	Maybe not

Mode	Behavior
Segment (default)	Side-by-side / bilingual by paragraph
Full text	Replaces visible README text, keeping structure where possible

Wait for README load → Translate → pick language and mode → switch original / translation. Requires Pro and a translation model in AI configuration. Target language can follow the UI. Paragraphs already in the target language are skipped. Failures toast at the bottom-right.

Translation uses a smaller first request, incremental display, up to 4-way concurrency, per-segment cache, and resume for unfinished paragraphs.

Notes

• Very long READMEs cost more time and tokens
• Code blocks / tables may layout worse than the original
• Mermaid and complex diagrams may stay closer to the original when translation is poor
• Use it to read. Do not ship the output as official localization
