Question 1

Is the LLM Translator open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LLM Translator is a single-page HTML app — the entire source runs in your browser and is viewable via View Source. The full repository is hosted on GitHub under HamsterBase.

Question 2

How good is the translation quality?

Accepted Answer

Quality depends on the LLM you connect. Modern top-tier large language models handle long sentences, technical jargon and paragraph context far better than traditional machine translation. You can further tune output via custom prompts (industry terminology, Markdown preservation, tone, etc.).

Question 3

How is my data privacy protected?

Accepted Answer

All configuration (API key, templates) is stored only in your browser's localStorage. Our servers never see your data. Translation requests go directly from your browser to your configured API endpoint (e.g. OpenAI) — no proxy, no logging, no analytics on your text.

Question 4

Is the LLM Translator really free?

Accepted Answer

The tool itself is 100% free with no subscription, no ads, and no signup. You only pay for your own LLM API usage, which is typically a fraction of a cent per translation (billed by token by the LLM provider you choose).

Question 5

What's the difference between LLM Translator and Google Translate?

Accepted Answer

Google Translate uses neural machine translation tuned for short-segment speed, but lacks paragraph-level context understanding. LLM translation reads whole-paragraph context, preserves tone and style, handles code and technical jargon correctly, and lets you fully customize translation style via prompts. Trade-off: slightly slower and requires your own API key.
