User picks a language. Page translates. <br> RTL flips automatically for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu. No JSON <br> files. No config.</p> <h2> How it works </h2> <p>GPT-4 translates on the first request. Redis + localStorage cache <br> it after that — so repeat visits are instant and free. You only <br> ever pay for unique characters.</p> <p>19 languages.
