FAQ

Do I need a Google API key? No for the default Google provider. DeepL / Microsoft / OpenAI / Yandex / LibreTranslate need credentials under Settings → Providers.

Is my Bluesky password shared? No. The script only reads post text from the page DOM and sends that text to the chosen translate provider. API keys you enter stay in userscript GM storage on your device.
