Glad to finally see translation without the need for an extension. I need to translate pages semi regularly but I try not to install many extensions to avoid fingerprinting.
Still quite limited amount of languages. I wonder if I can follow the addition of languages somewhere
That translation feature looks very promising, meanwhile I’ve been using https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist which works in a similar way, but the local translation is a bit difficult to set up, so I’ve been using google translate as the backend.
But it has other cool features which I need, especially the translation of the whole page, which doesn’t work with the official google translate addon here in Korea.
One thing I wish any of those could do is to translate text inside of pictures. For some reason in Korea a lot of text is stored in pictures on https://coupang.com especially detailed explanations about the product I want to buy and then I have to use google translate on my phone with the camera to be able to translate.
I just tested it. The only missing feature to me is, auto translating for other pages on the same website.
I really like the idea, as long as there’s some sort of quick switch, so you can shift back and forth between original and machine translated versions. Because machine translation can be sometimes great, sometimes awful; and when it’s awful, and the language is one that you barely understand (written Catalan and Dutch, for me), sometimes it’s actually worth to dig through the original.
