Set Up Online Translation
Enter your Baidu or LLM credentials and test the connection in Settings.
Baidu Translate
- You need an App ID and a secret key, both from the Baidu Translate open platform.
- Apply for the general text translation API and set up quota and IP allowlist as prompted.
LLM
- Fill in three fields: Base URL, model name and API Key.
- Defaults point to Zhipu’s open platform (Base URL and glm-4-flash); change them for any OpenAI-compatible service.
Test the connection and where credentials live
Settings has a Test Connection button; the engine is used for translation only after it passes. Credentials live in the macOS Keychain and are never uploaded anywhere.
