By linxbxxh retainpdf-zotero-plugin 0 GitHub Stars
Sends new PDFs, or right-clicked items, to the local RetainPDF desktop app for full-text translation and attaches a Chinese overlay PDF and a side-by-side bilingual PDF to the item; RetainPDF needs its own OCR token and model API key.
To install, save the .xpi file and drag it onto the Plugins window in Zotero (Tools → Plugins). In Firefox, right-click the download link and choose Save Link As. A plugin has full access to your Zotero and your computer, and the index does not review its code before listing it, so install only plugins from developers you trust. More about installing
