AirTranslate 1.7.1

AirTranslate 1.7.1 steadies the floating caption overlay so live translations stop jumping, flickering, and rewriting mid-sentence, and adds Caption Stability and Caption Alignment controls.

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

Added

  • Caption Stability (Responsive / Balanced / Steady) and Caption Alignment (Center / Left) are available in Settings and the menu bar. Steady holds each rewrite longer; Left keeps the start of each line fixed as text grows.

Changed

  • Floating captions now reserve a fixed caption height and fade replacement text in one piece, so the source line does not jump or re-center on every update.

Fixed

  • Floating translations no longer rewrite or flicker on every recognizer revision. The overlay holds the previous translation until a new one is ready, and wraps to the measured window width instead of leaving orphaned words.

Scope

  • Apple Mode remains the default local-first transcription and translation path.
  • Meta Scribe, GPT, and Gemini modes remain optional. Each sends the audio or text needed for the selected feature directly to the corresponding external API using a user-provided key stored in macOS Keychain.
  • This release does not add an account system or a developer-operated relay/backend server.
  • This release does not change the existing ad-hoc signing and non-notarized distribution status.

Verification

  • Focused FloatingTranslationPresentationTests and FloatingCaptionStabilityTests coverage verifies independent translation dwell, newest-wins queuing, stale-translation hold, hold timeout, persistence, and measured-width wrapping.
  • Local tests, a release build, and ./script/build_and_run.sh --verify passed before packaging.
  • Release candidates are built from repository source and checked for version/build metadata, the app bundle, LICENSE, NOTICE, code-signature integrity, ZIP/DMG contents, and checksums.
  • Local tests and packaged artifacts do not prove Meta, OpenAI, or Gemini live connectivity; those paths require separately configured user API keys.
  • macOS Gatekeeper may still show an unidentified-developer warning because these open-source artifacts are ad-hoc signed and not Apple-notarized.

Distribution Notes

AirTranslate remains fully open-source under the Apache-2.0 License. Release DMG and ZIP artifacts are ad-hoc signed and are not Apple-notarized; macOS may show an unidentified-developer warning on first launch, and TCC permission inheritance across updates is not guaranteed.
