History

tagent-cli can keep a log of every translation, from the prompt, the hotkey and the command line alike. It is off by default:

[history]
save_translation_history = true
history_file = "/home/me/translations.txt"

Each translation is appended as one entry:

[2026-09-26 14:30:15 UTC] auto -> ru
IN:  How are you?
OUT: Как вы?
---

[2026-09-26 14:32:45 UTC] auto -> ru
IN:  translate
OUT: переводить
Глагол
  переводить [transfer, translate, convert, move, interpret, put]
  транслировать [translate, transmit, relay, compile]
---

• The time is in UTC. The languages are the ones set when you translated (auto stays auto).
• A dictionary entry is saved in full, as plain text.
• Errors and text read aloud are not saved.

Where the file is

By default translation_history.txt in the per-user data folder:

• Linux: ~/.local/share/tagent-cli/translation_history.txt
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/tagent-cli/translation_history.txt
• Windows: %APPDATA%\tagent-cli\translation_history.txt

Use an absolute path for history_file: a relative one is taken from the folder you start tagent-cli in. Missing folders are created. On Windows, write backslashes doubled ("C:\\Users\\me\\history.txt") or use single quotes ('C:\Users\me\history.txt').
