Opmerkings van die ontwikkelaar

Magic Translator was designed to provide a fast, seamless, and privacy-conscious multilingual translation experience inside Mozilla Thunderbird, for both reading and drafting emails.

Issue Reporting & Support:
To report a bug, ask a question, or suggest an enhancement, feel free to open an issue on our official repository: https://github.com/mtfkarukera/magic-translator-tb/issues

Privacy & Transparency:
The add-on operates without any intermediate proxy server. Translation requests are sent directly from your device to the selected provider (or remain 100% local with Ollama / LM Studio). Your API keys and engine preferences are stored exclusively locally via the secure browser.storage.local API.

Roadmap:
Upcoming releases will continue expanding the LLM Hub with additional model presets and multilingual rewriting assistance features.
