Translate Any Text, Anywhere. Then Correct, Refine, and Summarize with AI.

Polyglot Air is a desktop application that makes high-quality, private AI translation an instant part of your workflow.

📖 About the Project

Polyglot Air was born from a simple need: to make translation a seamless, instant part of any workflow. It eliminates the need to copy-paste text into web translators by bringing the power of large language models directly to your desktop.

By integrating with your local Ollama instance, it allows you to select any text on your screen, press a global shortcut, and have it instantly translated.

But it doesn't stop there. Polyglot Air is also a powerful writing assistant. Using simple text suffixes, you can correct grammar, change the tone of your writing, summarize long passages, and more—all with the same simple shortcut and with 100% privacy.

✨ Key Features

• Core Feature: Intelligent Translation

  Instantly translate text between Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Chinese. Set a default target language for quick translations or specify one on-the-fly using suffixes like ::en for English or ::pt for Portuguese.

• Beyond Translation: Your AI Toolkit

  Enhance your text with a suite of powerful AI actions, all accessible via simple suffixes:

  • Correct (::fix): Automatically detect the language and fix grammar and spelling mistakes.
  • Change Tone (::formal, ::friendly): Rewrite text to be more professional, casual, or friendly.
  • Modify Length (::summarize, ::shorten, ::expand): Get the gist of long articles, make your writing more concise, or add detail to your ideas.

• 100% Local & Private

  All processing is done on your machine through Ollama. Your selected text, prompts, and generated content never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and data security.

• Global & Seamless Workflow

  Polyglot Air works across all your applications—browsers, text editors, messengers, you name it. Select text, press the shortcut, and watch the transformation happen in place.
