SlangBit is a lightweight Windows tray utility for real-time clipboard translation. Copy text, press ALT + Z, and paste the translated result anywhere.
Copy selected text from any Windows application.
Use the global hotkey to translate the text locally.
The translated text is placed back in the clipboard and pasted automatically.
Your text never leaves your computer. Translation happens locally.
No cloud translation APIs, no external processing, no accounts.
Install only the language packages you actually need.
SlangBit stays out of the way until you need ALT + Z.
Language packages are installed locally and can be managed from SlangBit's built-in Package Manager.
No flags: SlangBit treats languages as languages, not countries.

SlangBit does not send translated text to Memmola Labs or to third-party translation services. Once a language package is installed, translation runs locally on your Windows computer.
Only to download language packages or open documentation. Translation itself runs locally after packages are installed.
No. SlangBit processes copied text locally and does not send it to Memmola Labs or cloud translation APIs.
SlangBit works with most applications where text can be copied and pasted, including browsers, editors, email clients and office software.
Language packages are managed separately through the Package Manager, so users can install only the languages they need.
The Microsoft Store link will be added here after publication. Until then, the official project documentation is available on GitHub.
