Basic Settings
Before starting to use the langKey extension, you need to make some basic settings.
Translation Engine Configuration
By default, no additional configuration of translation engines is required, and the extension will automatically use the browser's built-in free translation engine. If your network environment is restricted, your browser does not have built-in translation functionality, or you need higher-precision translation results, you can manually configure the following adapted translation engines:
- Google Translate
Only new users have a $200 trial credit within 90 days - Microsoft (Bing) Translator
1 million characters free per month - DeepL Translator (higher translation accuracy)
500,000 characters free per month - Baidu Translate
Personal premium version 1 million characters/month, standard version only 50,000 characters/month - Translation Engine Application Tutorial
All the above translation engines provide monthly free usage quotas. The specific quotas may have errors and changes, please check by yourself. They are usually sufficient for regular usage scenarios. For specific key application methods, you can refer to the official documentation or obtain them through search.
Important reminder: Please pay close attention to your token usage to avoid exceeding the free quota and incurring additional costs. The relevant costs are borne by the user, and the charges are collected by the translation engine provider and have nothing to do with the extension. The selection mode of the extension may consume more tokens, please use it rationally. It is recommended to prioritize the browser's built-in free translation engine to avoid additional costs.
AI Engine Configuration
Without configuration, you will not be able to use AI translation and AI fill-in-the-blank mode by default. These features all rely on AI engines. Currently supported mainstream AI engines are as follows:
- Zhipu Gml
Has free mode - OpenAI
- Google Gemini
- SiliconFlow
Has free models - Grok
- AI Engine Application Tutorial
Some of the above AI engines have free modes that you can try for free, while others do not have free modes and require paid purchases. Please choose according to your own needs.
Please note that both AI translation and cloze mode require token consumption. Please use them rationally to avoid additional costs. The relevant costs are collected by the AI engine provider and have nothing to do with the extension.
