01 / WHAT IT DOES

Two languages in the same conversation.

The original message stays in place so its context is never hidden. The English translation appears directly below it, making the conversation easier to follow.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

Translation inside the browser.

The companion watches the visible Zalo conversation and translates new Vietnamese messages on the device as they appear.

  • Keeps the original Vietnamese visible
  • Adds English underneath the matching message
  • Uses the browser Translator API without an API key
03 / THE APPROACH

A small layer, not a replacement chat app.

The tool adds translation to the place where the conversation already happens, while keeping the work private and on the device.
