Documentation

FAQ:

While logged out, UserScript does not work on homepage?

  • UserScript does not run on login / sign up page, example: https://twitter.com/.
  • In addition, UserScript will search document.cookie for "twid" on Twitter and TweetDeck to determine if the user is logged in / out.

On mobile, how do you open the config menu?

  • "Menu" button is disabled / hidden on mobile, you can add '?tetopen' at the end of the url to force open config menu.
  • Be sure to close the menu to save your changes and remove '?tetopen' from the url to prevent menu from reopening.

Where does the UserScript store my API key?

  • API keys are storing in the webpages localStorage (localStorage.getItem("TETConfig")) and UserScripts storage.
  • NOTE: API keys are stored in plain text and not protected by any encryption!

Bugs / Issues

  • Duplicate "Translate with ..." in Direct Messages (sometimes)
