NADA for Cursor

Add your language to Cursor. Your code reads in your language; Cursor still sees plain English.

Cursor is built on VS Code, so the NADA extension installs directly.

  1. From inside Cursor

    Open the Extensions panel, search for NADA, and install. Cursor reads from Open VSX by default, so the same package works.
