What is Chouette

From the Chrome Web Store

Private, offline page translation powered by AI running entirely in your browser. Chouette translates web pages and text privately, no cloud, no API keys, no data ever leaving your browser.

Unlike traditional translation extensions that send every word to a remote server, Chouette runs a full AI translation model (Gemma) directly in your browser using WebGPU and WebAssembly. Your text stays on your device at all times.

Features

One-click full page translation — Chouette detects foreign-language pages and offers one-click

translation with a subtle, non-intrusive prompt.

Right-click translation — Select text or right-click any page → "Chouette - Translate".
Multi-profile model sharing — Download the model once, use it across every Chrome profile on your device with native host (no per-profile redownload).
50+ languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and European languages.
Completely private — Zero data sent to external servers, ever.
Works offline — After the one-time model download, translations work without an internet connection.
Click translated text to copy it.
Smart caching — Translated pages are cached so revisiting is instant.
Light and dark themes — Matches your preference.

How It Works

1. Install the extension and download the translation model (~4 GB, one-time) 2. Visit any page in a foreign language — Chouette detects it and shows a translate bar 3. Click Translate — the page is translated in place, starting with visible content first 4. Toggle between the original and translated text anytime
