V1.1.1

Release notes for v1.1.1:

-Redesigned the bottom bar with icon-only buttons: Settings, Menu, Swap, and Translate; New swap icon (vertical arrows) and translate icon (speech bubble exchange)
-Settings gear moved out of the top bar and into the bottom bar (home) and menu screen, matching LightOS placement
-Removed settings gear from the text editor and language picker screens for a cleaner look
-Raised translation token limits (128 input / 64 output to 192 / 128) so longer paragraphs no longer get cut off mid-sentence

v1.1.0

New:

• Added a wake lock feature to avoid interruptions during language model download.
• Added a Reset button in Settings. The Translation Model lets you wipe the model files and start a fresh download if anything gets stuck or corrupted.
• Added a text editor screen for better text input experience.
• The enter key on the keyboard in the text editor screen inserts a new line instead of submitting, so you can type multi-line phrases naturally. Use the back chevron or dismiss the keyboard (by swiping down, for example) and tap Done to return to the home screen. In the home screen, tap on Translate to trigger translation.
• Auto-scroll keeps your text visible above the keyboard as you type.
• There is a Clear button in the editor so you can start fresh without selecting all and deleting manually.
• Clearing text in the editor also clears the translation on the home screen.

v1.0.0

First release of light-translator. Offline text translation for the Light Phone III using NLLB-200.

Installation

Download light-translator-1.0.0.apk below and sideload, or add this repo to Obtainium for automatic updates.

First-time setup

On first launch, the app will prompt to download the translation model (about 1.5 GB). Please note:

• The download takes around 5 minutes on a stable Wi-Fi connection, sometimes a bit longer
• Keep the phone awake during the download. If the screen turns off or the app is backgrounded, the download can pause or fail entirely, which may require you to restart the process

Once the model is downloaded, translations work fully offline.
