AirTranslate 1.6.0

AirTranslate 1.6.0 adds an optional Gemini source-transcription workflow and makes long-running Gemini sessions and compact macOS layouts more resilient without changing Apple Mode as the local-first default.

AirTranslate is an independent open-source project and is not affiliated with Apple, OpenAI, or Google.

Added

  • Added Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live, an opt-in source-only caption mode that automatically detects the spoken language during capture when the user provides a Gemini API key.

Changed

  • Gemini Live now recognizes finished session state, reuses the latest session-resumption handle during refreshes, follows GoAway reconnect recommendations, bounds retained context through compression, and sends audio in 40 ms chunks for more reliable long-running capture.
  • The minimum-size workspace and Settings layouts reflow instead of hiding controls.
  • Apple, GPT, and Gemini transcription modes now use one original-only output contract: no translated-text route, target-language picker, or translated-voice controls are shown where translation is not part of the active mode.

Fixed

  • Compact windows no longer clip the transcription-mode controls that remain available at the minimum supported size.
  • Original-only transcription no longer exposes translation-only controls that cannot affect the current session.

Scope

  • Apple Mode remains the default local-first transcription and translation path.
  • Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live is optional, sends audio to Gemini only after the user enables it and provides a Gemini API key, and produces source captions rather than translations.
  • This release does not add an account system or a developer-operated relay/backend server. Optional OpenAI and Gemini modes still send the audio or text needed for the selected feature directly to their external APIs using user-provided keys stored in macOS Keychain.
  • Gemini Live Translate and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live send required audio directly to the Google Gemini API only after the user enables the mode and provides a Gemini API key; keys are never included in release packages.
  • This release does not change the existing ad-hoc signing and non-notarized distribution status.

Verification

  • The source change set has focused Gemini-session regression coverage for finished state, resumption, GoAway handling, context compression, and 40 ms audio transmission.
  • Release candidates are built from the repository source and checked for expected app, license, notice, checksum, code-signature, and sensitive-file boundaries before any upload.
  • Actual Gemini API connectivity, live audio transcription, and long-duration provider-session continuity require a separately configured user API key and are not implied by local build or test results.
  • macOS Gatekeeper may still show an unidentified-developer warning because these open-source artifacts are ad-hoc signed and not Apple-notarized.
