I make Simple Fast Translation when I was looking for a lightweight translation tool for macOS that doesn't rely on an internet connection. As someone who values privacy and simplicity, I needed something that could quickly translate text without the need to go online. Simple Fast Translation perfectly fits that need! You can select words or sentences and trigger the translation with a simple keyboard shortcut. It's seamless, efficient, and works offline—exactly what I was looking for.

No internal purchase, once pay for life use.

After you download and open the app, you need to install two plugins: the first plugin is Apple script for calling shortcuts; The second plug-in is the shortcut instruction, which is used to invoke system translation. Then you can select some text and press the shortcut key you set to display the translated result. (After pressing the shortcut key for the first time, you will be reminded to give the app auxiliary permission, you need to exit the app and re-open the app after completion)

I’d love to hear how others are using it! Feel free to ask any questions to the makers or share your feedback. Let’s start a conversation and see how we can make this tool even better!

Now this is what I call friction-free translation! ⚡️🔤

The combination of one-click translation and shortcut keys is perfect for Mac power users. No more context-switching or copy-pasting into separate translation windows - just select and translate. It's like having a multilingual assistant that never makes you wait!

What really impresses me is the privacy-first approach. No network permissions required? That's huge! In a world where every app seems to want access to everything, having a translation tool that respects privacy while maintaining functionality is refreshing. It's like having your cake and eating it too!

The efficiency focus is spot-on:

One-click operation
Keyboard shortcuts
Multi-language support
Instant results
Privacy protection

For developers working with international codebases, technical writers handling multilingual documentation, or anyone who regularly deals with multiple languages, this is a massive productivity boost. It's like removing the language barrier without removing your privacy!

This solves a real pain point in the MacOS ecosystem - the need for quick, private translations without breaking your workflow. Whether you're reading international news, communicating with global teams, or learning a new language, having instant translation at your fingertips is invaluable.

Keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in language tools! You're making multilingual computing both more accessible and more private! 🚀🔒

@masump Yes, Simple Fast Translation relies on macOS built-in translation, so users are not required to download a separate language pack. Multiple languages are supported.
