  • a lot of features and flexible configuration
  • dictionary + history for learn languages

Oh wow, it really solves a problem I have that Google Translate is not allowed to translate the whole website if it's in Korean, I guess it's some weird law, there are some like that in Korea. But with this one finally, thanks for the link!

For now an embedded Bergamot Translator module does not support a Korean language, but thanks for your comment, i work on addding a new languages and your comment useful to demonstrate the importance a wide languages support.

With time a Korean language will supported, for now you can try to use a https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate as a Linguist custom translator (https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/blob/master/docs/CustomTranslator.md). It will takes a time to configure your environment, but as result you can deploy a big AI model for text translation on your PC and use it with a Linguist if the private translation the key feature you needs for the Korean language

Thanks, I'll check it out, would be nice to be able to ditch Google Translate.

Ah the offline translator doesn't seem to have Korean, that's a pity but still great addon.
