X-auto-translator (Chrome extension for translating X posts)
Auto-translates timeline tweets and runs OCR on individual tweet pages using Tesseract.js, with options for Google or a self-hosted LibreTranslate fallback. Sensible trade-offs (OCR disabled on the fast-moving timeline, client-side processing) show practical thinking, though reliance on an unofficial Google endpoint and X's volatile DOM means it may need frequent upkeep.
