Summary
Adds a macOS menu-bar MVP that lets users translate or speak selected text from any app.
macos/LLMTranslateMac, a SwiftPM AppKit menu-bar app with global hotkeys for translating (Option + Command + T) and speaking (Option + Command + S) the current selection.bin/llm-translatestdin/stdout CLI for translation provider dispatch instead of duplicating provider logic.macos/LLMTranslateMac/scripts/build-app.shand usage/configuration docs.readlink -fandfind -printfassumptions.Why
The existing project works well from terminal and Vim, but macOS users need a system-level workflow for text visible in any app. This PR adds that bridge while keeping provider behavior centralized in the current CLI.
Notes
The app reads selected text by temporarily issuing
Command + C, reading the pasteboard, and restoring the previous pasteboard contents. It requires macOS Accessibility permission for that global selection workflow.Validation
