A macOS CLI and HTTP server for on-device translation using Apple's Translation framework, offering drop-in compatibility with DeepL, LibreTranslate, and Google v2 APIs. It is interesting for its deterministic, offline translation approach that eliminates cloud dependencies and API keys while working as a UNIX-style filter with rich output formats.
