MTtranslator

你好！我是 M.T. Arden，本翻译工具的开发者🤓。这个软件在 ChatGPT 和 Claude 的帮助下完成，使用了免费的翻译模型 Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-zh。感谢所有为此项目提供帮助的人！

功能特点

1. 仅支持英文到简体中文翻译

• 该应用专为实时字幕翻译设计，支持从英文到简体中文的转换。

2. 离线操作

• 翻译完全离线进行，保证隐私安全。但翻译质量仅供参考🫡。去学英语比这靠谱。

3. 仅限 Windows 系统

• 本软件依赖 Windows 的实时字幕功能 (Live Captions)，因此只能在具备此功能的 Windows 系统上运行。

---

快速上手

系统要求

• 操作系统： Windows（需启用实时字幕功能）。
• 语言： Python 3.11，依赖库见requirements。
• 内存： 至少 2GB 可用内存。
• 存储空间： 软件及模型文件需约 1GB 空闲存储空间。

使用小贴士

1. 在启动本程序前，确保您有“实时字幕”功能：

• 如果此前已经打开了实时字幕用于其他用途，请重启实时字幕，否则本软件会读取之前的字幕内容。

2. 操作方法：

• 绿色按钮：开始翻译
• 橙色按钮：暂停翻译
• 红色按钮：停止翻译

3. 翻译内容会显示在程序窗口中，原文会自动保存供后面对照参考，每次在开始运行后会弹出窗口选择保存位置到自定义文件夹。

4. 因为实时字幕的断句有时候会出问题，翻译的质量也会受到影响，可能会一整段一起翻译或者仅有几个字词。 本身使用的是离线大模型进行翻译，相当于是机翻。翻译仅供参考🥺

MTtranslator

Hi there! This is M.T. Arden, the developer of this translator application. I created this tool with the help of ChatGPT and Claude, and it uses the free translation model Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-zh. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to its development!

Features

1. English to Chinese (Simplified) Translation Only

• This application supports real-time subtitle translation from English to Chinese.

2. Offline Operation

• The translation process is fully offline, ensuring privacy. However, the translation quality is not perfect and should only be used as a reference. Always strive to improve your language skills!

3. Subtitle Storage

• Captions are saved in the caption folder for later reference.

4. Windows-Only Compatibility

• This application relies on Windows Live Captions, which means it can only be used on Windows systems with this feature enabled.

---

Getting Started

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10/11 with Live Captions enabled.
• Memory: At least 2GB available RAM.
• Storage: Approximately 1GB of free space for the application and model files.

---

Usage Tips

1. Restart or open "Live Captions" in Windows before launching the application.

• If Live Captions is active before you use this app, you better restart Live Captions because the application will capture previous captions (if any).

2. To begin translating:

• Use the green button to start translation, the orange button to pause, and the red button to stop.

3. Translations will be displayed in the application window and stored in the caption folder for later review.

4. Live captions are not so accurate, so does this application. I choose to translate a sentence to improve the quality so sometimes it would be slow because the whole paragraph will be translated together.

---

Installation and Running

1. Download the Application

• Get the latest version of MTtranslator.exe from the Releases section.

2. Run the Application

• Double-click MTtranslator.exe to start.
