Very cool request
I would like this too! If you’re on iPhone, you can use the “select text” feature, highlight all the text and then translate it. Definitely would be easier to have a button/menu option
Asked for this before but no official response, as of yet.
Not sure how exactly that would work. Do you have any ideas? Is there a free translation API that could be used?
Not as efficient, but you can have Google Assistant translate any text on screen if you pull it up and hit the translate button. Drawback is just that you can’t interact with the page while Google Assistant is translating it.
Edit: Android only, just to clarify.
I’ve always liked how the Mastodon app, Ice Cubes, does it:
After taping the “translate” button:
lol 2 people actually downvoted this. lol
Downvoters already speak 7000 languages?
The most extensive catalog of the world’s languages, generally taken to be as authoritative as any, is that of Ethnologue (published by SIL International), whose detailed classified list as of 2009 included 6,909 distinct languages.
Apps normally have to pay to use translation APIs. There is selfhostable LibreTranslate, I don’t know how good it is.
I didn’t downvote.
