Additional Information

It works more or less similar to https://github.com/ssut/py-googletrans by relying on the outdated Google Translate Ajax API to translate text. The add-on tries to make fewer requests if possible and sleeps for 30 seconds every now and then. Downloading definitions or examples for multiple notes at once (using the card browser) is a slow process, every request will take about 4-8 seconds.

Changes

2026-09-13 Replace 'requests' with 'curl_cffi' to work around '429 Client Error: Too Many Requests'.
