Question 1

What is LinguaTrace?

Accepted Answer

LinguaTrace is a minimal AI translator powered by Claude. You type or select any text, pick a target language, and it translates instantly, then automatically saves the result to your private log so you can look back on everything you have translated.

Question 2

Is LinguaTrace free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You sign in with a free account and start translating right away.

Question 3

Which languages can I translate into?

Accepted Answer

LinguaTrace supports 10+ target languages, including English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Russian. Source text can be in any language.

Question 4

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every translation is saved only to your own account and is never shared or made public. The Chrome extension never reads pages on its own; it only handles text you type or explicitly select.

Question 5

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. LinguaTrace runs in your browser. There is also an optional Chrome extension that adds a side panel and a right-click Translate action.

Question 6

How is this different from a normal translator?

Accepted Answer

Most translators forget the moment you close the tab. LinguaTrace keeps a running record of what you translate, turning everyday translation into a personal language log you can learn from.
