About Pot#
Pot is a desktop translation software, the full name is Translator of Pylogmon, and the Chinese name is 派了个萌的翻译器. The reason why it is not called "top" is largely because "top" is a Linux command. The official website provides a detailed explanation:
We don't use "top" because a well-known Linux software already uses the name "top", so now you can also call it "翻译锅" (translation pot) 😂
- Quoted from the Pot official website
Pot mainly provides us with convenient functions for translation and other translation-related features.
