Local-first translation

The app is designed around a local-first workflow. Model weights are not bundled with the application. To use local AI translation, you need to install or select a compatible local model yourself after reviewing the model provider's terms and system requirements.

Translation quality and speed depend on your hardware, selected model, and source image quality. An NVIDIA GPU is recommended.
