Desktop Translator v0.1.1
What's new
- Fix the translate button click and popup routing on secondary macOS displays.
- Keep button and popup placement correct across mixed Retina and 1x monitor layouts.
- Capture the exact selection-release position before Accessibility retry delays.
- Add a macOS mixed-scale regression fixture based on the verified two-display setup.
Install
Download the .dmg and drag the app to Applications. The build is universal: it runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
These builds are not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS Gatekeeper will refuse the first launch. To allow it, run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Desktop Translator.app"On first run, grant Accessibility permission when prompted, then add your own Google Cloud Translation API key in Settings.
The app is ad-hoc signed, so its code identity changes with every release. After installing an update, macOS drops the old grant: remove the stale entry in Privacy & Security → Accessibility and add the new one.
Platform support
macOS only. The Windows adapters are written but have not been qualified on a Windows host and are not distributed yet.
