I Searched GitHub for Something Like TransLee. Here's What I Found.
I built TransLee for my own family, using the same Gemini Live API that Google publishes starter code for. That raises an obvious question I hadn’t actually answered yet: does something like this already exist, built by someone else, that I could have just used? So I searched GitHub for it. What’s Already Out There A few projects showed up using the same Gemini Live API for translation: kazunori279/live-translator — three modes: an agent mode, a simultaneous-translation mode, and a conversation mode for two people talking to each other.
