What's new

Vocabulary Study turns the words and short phrases you translate into a private learning loop:

  • an on-device SQLite wordbook with lookup demand, recall scoring, source-language correction, deletion, and pronunciation for both sides
  • local-first translation lookup: personal wordbook → active downloaded textbook → Google Cloud Translation API
  • five downloadable English → Simplified Chinese textbooks for general, everyday, academic, TOEIC, and business vocabulary
  • related-word discovery across personal and downloaded vocabulary, with root/meaning relationships, source badges, and one-click addition
  • optional provenance-backed part-of-speech badges on word cards, textbook entries, related words, and practice choices
  • bidirectional practice with random or fixed direction, related/textbook distractors, and mastery-aware scheduling
  • a redesigned Vocabulary Study window with stable card layouts, focused scrolling, compact practice feedback, and reactive refresh

The README now includes current screenshots and a complete feature guide.

Install

Download the universal .dmg and drag the app into Applications. It runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

These builds are not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS Gatekeeper will refuse the first launch. Allow it with:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Desktop Translator.app"

On first run, grant Accessibility permission and add your Google Cloud Translation API key in Settings.

Important

The app is ad-hoc signed, so an update changes its code identity. After installing v0.2.0, remove the stale Desktop Translator entry under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, add the new app, then relaunch it.

Platform support

macOS 11+ is supported. Windows remains implemented but unqualified and is not distributed in this release.
