Ollama mode sends public post text only to the local Ollama service at 127.0.0.1 on your computer. The extension excludes direct messages and does not send post text to a cloud translation provider. Settings are saved locally; translations are cached in memory. No ads or analytics. LIMITATIONS Translation can make mistakes. Images and surrounding conversation context are not translated. Native X translation replacement is verified with the X interface in English. Flags indicate language, not author nationality. X interface changes may affect compatibility. Unofficial. Not affiliated with X, Google, or Ollama.
