A developer, frustrated with existing translation tools like Google incorrectly translating Buddhist terms (such as rendering ‘般若’ as ‘wisdom’ instead of ‘Prajñā’), has created their own open-source AI Buddhist scripture translator. This tool supports mutual translation between 18 languages including Sanskrit, Pali, and Tibetan, features a built-in database of 50+ Buddhist terms, and is powered by the DeepSeek API to ensure translation accuracy. It supports voice input and multilingual text-to-speech, with a pure front-end implementation that protects user privacy. The project is now open source, with an online demo and GitHub link available, and welcomes community feedback and suggestions.
