Frequently asked questions
Is Mino on the Chrome Web Store?
Not yet. The website currently provides a ZIP package with a detailed manual install guide.
Why do I need developer mode?
Because the extension is not listed on the Chrome Web Store. ZIP installation requires enabling developer mode and loading the unpacked folder.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes. You need to configure an OpenAI-compatible API provider. The website does not provide model accounts or API keys.
Which languages are supported?
Translation capabilities depend on your configured model. The website UI supports Simplified Chinese and English.
Which websites are supported?
YouTube is the core scenario for subtitles. Selection translation works on most common webpages.
Can it translate videos without captions?
No. Subtitle translation depends on the video having a caption track. Without one, subtitles cannot be generated.
Does the website receive my API key?
No. The website has no login system and does not process your translation data. All requests go directly to your configured API provider.
How do I update the extension?
Download the new ZIP, unzip it, and reload the unpacked extension folder in Chrome extension management.
