• Options to change: font size, button size, which options should appear in the translate selected text panel.
• Make the entire extension interface friendly to RTL languages.
• Add more themes besides Dark and Light.

11

• There will be no version 11. After 10, I intend for all to be 10.(something). Example: 10.45
• At this point I expect to have less than 30 issues open on Github.

---

Some other stuff:

• Verify the viability of a new translation mode. By pressing Ctrl + Shift the text over the mouse is translated without showing a panel, similar to page translation.
• Check the feasibility of using the TreeWalker and IntersectionObserveAPI API.
• Check the feasibility of translating with DeepL without using official API and without opening a new tab.
• Find out why this crash happened: New update causes Brave to hang for over 10 minutes until the extension crashes (SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED) #617
• Make a list of top contributors from crowdin.
• Check the feasibility of adding safari support.
• Create an exclusive extension for Firefox Mobile with support for the option Automatically translate when clicking on a link that takes you to the same domain as the current site. The extension's page would also have instructions on how to install it.
• Check the feasibility of adding the CLD2 or CLD3 library in the extension, so that it is possible to detect language in Firefox Mobile. Firefox Mobile 120+ supports language detection.
• Check how Firefox Translations detects language in Firefox Mobile.
• Check the feasibility of adding support for Firefox Translations in the extension (probably in a separate extension that complements TWP. Although Mozilla does not allow extensions that depend on others to work.
• Create a new extension to translate text from images.
  • For this, the Tesseract.js library will be used.

Option to add a new translation service.
DeepL Free API support.

When the DeepL tab opens, a message should appear informing about why this tab opened and how to stop this tab from appearing.

I understand correctly that the so-called Free DeepL API will only work with a DeepL Pro account?

1. Click on this link: https://www.deepl.com/pro/select-country
2. Select your country
3. DeepL has two categories of plans:
   • For individuals and teams
   • For developers (select this one)
4. Then select DeepL API Free

You don't need to pay anything to get DeepL API Free. This API has a quota of 500,000 characters per month.
The only problem is that you need a credit card with an address in one of the countries allowed by DeepL. As my country is not on this list I had to find a way to get one, for that I used the website usunlocked, I had to make a deposit of USD $50.

Thanks, I looked at their website, even read their privacy policy, but I somehow missed that.
