IntelliJ Translate Plugin
An IntelliJ plugin for translating text in the editor, aimed at Korean developers who want to translate comments, variable names, and code strings without switching to a browser. It supports Azure Translator and Naver Papago APIs, with auto language detection and an in-place text replacement mode.
Auto-selection mode is practical — it grabs the word or selection under the cursor without requiring you to highlight first. Three distinct interaction modes (popup, inline replace, dialog) cover different workflow needs without being bloated. The plugin correctly handles async loading with a visual indicator so the editor doesn't freeze on API calls. Test coverage exists for the API client layer.
Abandoned since July 2018 — this predates the current IntelliJ plugin SDK by several major versions and almost certainly doesn't load cleanly in anything modern. Naver Papago's API has changed significantly; the endpoint used here was retired. No support for DeepL or any translation API that's still relevant in 2026. The Korean-only README and tight coupling to Korean translation services make this a dead end for anyone outside that ecosystem.
