Local Layer

# ✨ Why Use Local Layer

When browsing foreign-language websites, people often need to repeatedly translate the same kinds of content, such as:

* Terms in technical documentation
* Common error messages
* API descriptions
* Repeated expressions in tutorials

With traditional methods, this work is repeated over and over. Local Layer makes each piece of content need to be translated only once.

**Translate once, then reuse automatically.**

# 🚀 Core Features

## Click to Translate

After enabling translation mode, just click text on any webpage to view the translation directly—no copy-paste and no leaving the current page.

---

## Translate Once, Reuse Forever

Translations are saved.
When the same text appears again, the system automatically uses the existing translation.

---

## Automatically Build a Personal Translation Library

Every translation becomes part of your personal translation library.
Over time, more and more content can be reused automatically.

---

## Floating Translation Display

Translations are displayed in a floating overlay on the webpage.
It doesn’t interrupt your reading flow and doesn’t alter the original page content.

---

## Import and Export Translation Data

Local Layer supports exporting saved translations **as files**, so you can back them up or move them to another device.

It also supports **importing translation data**, so you can quickly restore your previous translation records.

---

## Translation Library Sharing

Users can export and share their translation results with others.
By importing shared data, others can directly reuse existing translations and avoid duplicate translation work.

This allows translations to be accumulated not only individually, but also shared across teams or communities.

## Works on Any Website

Local Layer works on most websites, including:

* Technical documentation
* Developer communities
* Online tutorials
* Blog posts
* Software admin dashboards

Wherever you read foreign-language content, you can use it directly.
