Is GitHub 中文汉化翻译插件 safe?

Clean risk

GitHub 中文汉化翻译插件 sends GitHub README and discussion text to a configured translation API when translation is enabled.

Its README translation feature is off by default, but when enabled it extracts text from GitHub README pages and sends batched page text to the selected translation provider through the extension background fetch. Issue, pull request, and release translation uses the same provider request path after the user clicks the injected translate button.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed GitHub 中文汉化翻译插件 contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
