# 📚 Glossarion

**Glossarion** is a comprehensive AI-powered translation suite for light novels, web novels, manga, subtitles, synchronized lyrics, and documents in virtually any language, with preconfigured profiles for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese via its profile system. Built to transform EPUB, TXT, PDF, SRT, ASS, and LRC files into high-quality, context-aware translations, it also includes a dedicated **manga translator** panel that combines multiple AI models to translate .cbz archives and direct image files, plus a **translation-editing tool** for .sdlxliff files. It works with **40+ AI providers** — including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, DeepSeek, xAI Grok, Mistral, and local LLMs via Ollama — and, beyond those, **any OpenAI-compatible model or endpoint**, all through a modern PySide6 GUI that gives you total control over every step of the translation process.

 Every button and setting explained in plain language — including how to translate for free.

| **DeepL** | `deepl` | deepl (traditional translation API) |
| **Google Translate** | `google-translate*` | google-translate, google-translate-free |
| **Custom Prefix Routes** | user-defined `prefix/*` | Route custom prefixes to OpenAI-compatible endpoints in Model Manager |

> **AuthGrok browser login:** The `authgrok/` prefix selects browser-based xAI account authentication instead of an xAI API key. Enter a model such as `authgrok/grok-4.5`, click **Grok Login**, and finish signing in through the browser.

> **OcAgy login and account slots:** OcAgy is separate from the local `antigravity/` proxy. Click **OCAGY Login**; Glossarion installs OpenCode and `opencode-antigravity-auth` automatically when needed, then opens the login so you can choose **Google → OAuth with Google (Antigravity)**. No API key is required. `ocagy0/...` preserves the plugin-managed shared pool/current behavior; `ocagy/...` pins saved account #1, `ocagy1/...` pins account #2, `ocagy2/...` pins account #3, and so on. A pinned route fails clearly if that slot is missing, disabled, or out of quota instead of silently switching accounts.

Custom prefix routing is supported for user-defined OpenAI-compatible endpoints; add the prefix route in Model Manager, then use `prefix/model-name` in the model field.

> **Note:** Many more providers are supported — including Baichuan, Zhipu AI (GLM), Moonshot/Kimi, Baidu ERNIE, Tencent Hunyuan, ByteDance Doubao, MiniMax, Meta Llama, Microsoft Phi, Falcon, and others. See `model_options.py` and `unified_api_client.py` for the full catalog.

### API Key Setup
Custom endpoints can use either a base URL or a user-defined prefix route for self-hosted and alternative OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

1. **Direct Providers** — use API keys from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.
2. **ElectronHub** — single API key for access to models from multiple providers
3. **AuthGPT** — use your ChatGPT subscription via OAuth (no API key needed)
4. **AuthGrok** — type `authgrok/grok-4.5`, click **Grok Login**, and sign in to xAI (Google sign-in is available on xAI's page)
5. **OcAgy** — use `ocagy0/gemini-3.1-pro-high` for automatic plugin account rotation or a numbered account route for batch translation, then use **OCAGY Login**; Glossarion installs the required OpenCode runtime and auth plugin when needed (no API key required)
6. **Antigravity** — local Cloud Code proxy on `localhost:3000` via `Shirochi-stack/antigravity-proxy` (no API key needed)
7. **Custom Endpoints** — configure base URL for self-hosted or alternative endpoints

### Manga Translation Setup
1. Create a Google Cloud Project (or Azure AI resource)
2. Enable Cloud Vision API (or Azure AI Vision)
3. Create service account credentials
4. Download JSON key file
5. Set path in Manga Translator interface

## 📁 Supported Extensions

| Workflow | Extensions | Notes |
|----------|------------|-------|

| **Images** | `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.gif`, `.bmp`, `.webp` | Supported by the image and manga translation workflows. |
| **Video and game integration** | `.mp4`, `.exe` | MP4 video input and RPG Maker game translation through the GTool integration. |
