Where Does Crow Translate Store Settings?
Crow Translate keeps engine choices, hotkeys and popup options in a config file on Linux. Path and backup routine.
Last updated
Crow Translate is a thin client over translation engines with one config file in home. Source languages, engine order and popup options live there. Results stream per request.
That thin design makes the file trivially portable. Copy it with the app quit and every popup matches. History belongs to clipboard managers, since translation itself keeps no archive.
Where Crow Translate stores this, by platform
~/.config/crow-translate/crow-translate.conf
Engine order, hotkeys and popup options in one file. Results stream per request without local history. Copy with the app quit for a clean snapshot.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Crow Translate settings?
Copy the crow-translate config with the app quit. Engine order, hotkeys and popup behavior travel with it. API keys for private engines need reentry when secret storage differs across machines.
Where is my translation history?
Nowhere local. Translations call online engines per request without caching sentences. The config only decides engines and presentation. Offline use needs a separate dictionary app with local files.
