Vscode Extension —— Chinese and English sliding word translation

Local (Offline) Translation

This extension can optionally call a local HTTP translate server.

1. (Recommended) Create venv and install deps:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r local_server/requirements.txt
pip install torch

2. Enable settings:

• translate.useLocal: true
• translate.local.autoStart: true

The default start command is python3 -u local_server/app.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 0.

If you use venv, set:

• translate.local.command: ./.venv/bin/python -u local_server/app.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 0

Fully Offline (No Network)

If you want zero network access (no model downloads), you must provide model files locally.

• Set translate.local.offline: true
• Provide one of:
  • translate.local.model.root: a folder that contains en-zh/ and zh-en/ model directories
  • OR translate.local.model.enZh and translate.local.model.zhEn: explicit local paths

Notes:

• In offline mode, the server uses local_files_only=true and will fail fast if files are missing.
