Dual Title Translator

Automatically add a translated version of your note title while keeping the original — all in a single filename.

Perfect for:

  • bilingual or multilingual vaults
  • learning languages
  • keeping notes searchable in multiple languages

Powered by DeepL.

✨ What it does

When you rename a note, the plugin detects the language of the title and adds a translated version using a configurable separator.

Example:

  • Нотатки ⇋ Notes
  • Проєкт ⇋ Project

The original title is preserved — the translation is added next to it.

🔑 DeepL API Key

To use the plugin, you need a DeepL API key.

  1. Go to the official DeepL developer website:
    👉 https://www.deepl.com/pro-api

  2. Create a free DeepL API account

    • The Free plan allows up to 500,000 characters per month
    • A payment card is required during registration (DeepL requirement)
    • You will not be charged unless you upgrade the plan

  3. Copy your API key

  4. Paste the key into the DeepL API Key field in plugin settings
    ⚠️ Make sure there are no spaces before or after the key

🌐 Languages

Select two languages:

  • First language
    • Can be set manually
    • Or use AUTO (DeepL auto-detect)
  • Second language
    • defaults to English

These languages work bidirectionally.

This means:

  • If the note title is written in the first language, it will be translated into the second
  • If the note title is written in the second language, it will be translated into the first

⚠️ This feature relies on language detection and may not always be perfectly accurate.
