Purpose of the extension
The Langa Translation Companion helps users translate selected text or the current Langa Reader chapter after explicit user action.
The extension is a reading and translation assistance tool for Langa Library. It is not designed as a general web extraction tool.
Approved operating scope
The production extension is intended to operate only on approved Langa Library domains, such as https://langalibrary.org.
The local development version may also operate on localhost for private development and testing. The local development version is not the public production package.
Information the extension may process
- Text explicitly selected by the user.
- The current Langa Reader chapter exposed through a bounded Reader bridge.
- Temporary extension state, such as selected target language or provider setting.
Limits of extension access
- The extension is not designed to access passwords, cookies, payment data, or private messages.
- The extension is not designed to monitor browsing history.
- The extension is not designed to scrape unrelated websites.
- Translations are not saved by default.
- User data is not sold.
Translation processing
If browser built-in translation is available, translation may be processed locally by the browser.
If a Langa Library server or cloud translation provider is selected, the selected text or current chapter text may be sent to Langa Library translation APIs to generate a translation preview.
Temporary storage
The extension may use temporary browser extension storage to pass text from the context menu to the side panel.
This temporary handling is used to complete the user-requested translation action. It is not intended to create a public translation archive.
User control
Translation actions require user action. Users may disable or uninstall the extension at any time through their browser extension settings.
