Context switching kills productivity — especially when you constantly translate docs, source comments, issues, and terminal errors.
I’ve been using an immersive translation extension called Translate Pro (maintained for 2+ years, 10k+ downloads, 100+ releases). It’s built for developers who want translations inside the editor.
Key features
Hover translation
Translate & replace comments (inline)
One-click comment translation replacement (batch)
Extension detail translation
Immersive translation for Markdown preview
Terminal text translation (errors/logs)
Translate selected text and replace in bulk

What’s your most common translation scenario: docs, source comments, or terminal errors?
