Translate 0.2.0
Translate 0.2.0 is a much smaller app that looks exactly the same, and it no longer covers the line you're typing on
near the bottom of the screen.
What's new
- Microsoft Pinyin support. Use Translate with Microsoft Pinyin, the input method built into Windows 11, as well as
WeChat Input Method. Settings › General › Input method: Automatic, WeChat Input Method or Microsoft Pinyin. - Less than a third of the size. Translate now uses the WebView2 Runtime built into Windows instead of bundling
its own copy of Chromium: about 61 MB to download and 156 MB unpacked (0.1.1: 198 MB and 474 MB). It uses
about 16 MB of memory until you first type, and drops back to about 20 MB a few minutes after you stop. - The same look. The panel, the full-text preview and Settings are pixel-identical to 0.1.1.
- Placement fix near the bottom of the screen. When there's no room under WeChat Input Method's bar, the panel
goes above it — and now also above the line you're typing on, instead of covering it. Translate reads the caret
from apps that report it (most do, including browsers and Chromium-based apps) and otherwise keeps a line's height
clear. - Simpler Settings › Overview. The three-step checklist is gone; a single Connect a translation service card
appears only while no service is set up.

Needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, which is part of Windows 11 and current Windows 10. If it's missing,
Translate says so and offers the download page.
