Review Summary

KISS Translator is widely appreciated for its clean, minimalistic interface, fast and accurate translations, and customizable translation areas, offering a lightweight alternative to bloated extensions. Users praise its excellent user experience and speed. However, repeated issues include default translation engine settings not applying correctly, screen issues on YouTube videos when subtitles are translated, lack of automatic model detection requiring manual input, style mismatches with translation text, and occasional incomplete website translations.

Pros

  • Customizable translation area avoids full-screen clutter, enhancing user experience.
  • Clean, minimalistic interface with essential features and fast response times.
  • High translation speed and accuracy observed by multiple users.
  • Highly praised for user experience and aesthetic design, considered superior to many alternatives.
  • Lightweight and easy to use, preferred over more bloated translation extensions.

Cons

  • Default translation engine often defaults to Microsoft Translator instead of Google despite settings, causing confusion.
  • On YouTube, subtitles translation causes screen issues like white or black screens during video playback.
  • Inability to automatically detect the translation model; users must manually input model information.
  • Translation text style, such as font color, does not sync with original text, affecting readability and aesthetics.
  • Partial or incomplete translation on some websites; some websites cannot be fully translated or fail if Chinese text is present.
