First-run setup wizard

Section titled “First-run setup wizard”

The first time you open the extension after installing, a short wizard walks you through setup:

  1. Choose your native language — used to skip translating text that’s already in your language, and as your default interface language.
  2. Sign in or continue as guest — sign in with Google, Apple, or email/password to unlock subscriptions and cross-device sync, or click “Continue as guest” to skip straight to model setup. Guest mode still gives you full access to all three translation features. See Login & Subscription.
  3. Configure your first LLM — pick a preset provider (OpenAI / Google / Anthropic / OpenRouter) or a custom endpoint, paste your API key, and test the connection. See LLM Configuration.
  4. Subscription (only shown if you signed in) — optionally subscribe now, or skip and subscribe later from Settings.
