Jian Yi | On-device Hover Translator EN

Translation stays on your device. Browse in Edge without breaking your flow.
When you come across unfamiliar text, there is no need to copy and paste it into another translation website or send it to an unfamiliar service. Jian Yi uses the on-device Language Detector and Translator APIs built into Microsoft Edge to detect languages and translate text directly on your computer. The text you translate is never sent to the developer's servers or a third-party translation API.

The first time you use a particular language, Microsoft Edge may need an internet connection to download the required on-device model. Once the model is ready, you can enjoy fast, seamless translation designed with privacy in mind. Text-to-speech playback uses the voices available in your browser and operating system.

Fewer interruptions. Greater peace of mind.

Install Jian Yi and browse foreign-language content in Microsoft Edge without breaking your flow.

Privacy
Jian Yi includes no analytics, advertising trackers, or developer-operated translation servers. It does not record URLs, domains, page titles, or visit times. During normal use, it processes only the visible text that you point to, select, or explicitly ask to translate. Visible article sections are read only when you choose Translate entire page.

Settings and bookmarks are stored on the current device by default. Bookmark data is sent through Microsoft Edge's browser sync service only after you explicitly enable bookmark sync, allowing it to be accessed through your signed-in account on other devices. This data is never sent to developer-operated servers. Turning sync off does not automatically delete an existing synced copy; you can remove the cloud copy from the settings page.

The read-aloud feature is handled by your browser and operating system through the Web Speech API. If you choose an online voice, the text being read may be processed by Microsoft, your operating system provider, or another voice service provider; the developer does not receive that content.
