With the continuous development of LLMs, if you want to keep pace or get ahead in understanding AI technology and mastering related AI skills, it is essential to engage with English. Therefore, having a good translation plugin can be a great help.
Today, I would like to introduce a translation plugin that I quite like, called Immersive Translation. Let's go through the installation and try out some of its features together.
Step 1: Installation
Open Google Chrome, search for Immersive Translation in the Google Store, and add it directly to Google Chrome.
Step 2: Login
Here, I logged in directly using my Google email. If you don't have one, you can try other methods. After logging in, there will be operational guidance, and by following the instructions, you can complete the learning and use the immersive translation by clicking the floating ball or plugin button on the right while browsing foreign websites!
Is that all? Haha, next, I will record how to connect to a free large model through Immersive Translation to make our translations more accurate!
Here, we will use a platform called siliconflow, with the official website address: https://siliconflow.cn/zh-cn/
I don't know why it's called Silicon Flow, haha. We will register and log in here; I also used my Google email for quick registration. You need to bind your phone number, and if you're in China, just fill in your domestic phone number. After entering the verification code, you can complete the registration.
Let me explain why we should use siliconflow. This official platform is very friendly and provides specific operational documents that explain how to connect its large model in Immersive Translation. So, just follow its documentation to complete the configuration. Additionally, a very good aspect is that the platform offers some free models for us to use, so we no longer need to worry about the costs of models!

Step 3: Obtain API Key
After logging in, you can find the API key in the left menu on the homepage.
Step 4: Create Key
Step 5: Complete Configuration in Immersive Translation Plugin
Click on the Immersive Translation plugin - Settings - find the bottom option: Add custom AI translation service compatible with OpenAI interface?
After configuring the custom service, you can click the test verification in the upper right corner, and if the verification passes, it will be saved automatically!
Final Step: Use
First, open the service, then return to the basic settings - select your newly added translation service (the one you named).
Finally, while using, you can try other large models for testing. If you only want to use free models, you need to filter for free models in the model plaza to make your selection.
