In page translation for content #208
Comments
I want to strongly back this addition. How many of us nowadays are living/working abroad for extensive periods of time? It's really hard to read any non-english local business website (or "non-your-native-language") without any kind of translate plugin. Not to mention the possibility to read some foreign language articles, having an invaluable help while learning a foreign language, and so on. I like Brave browser but personally this single missing feature is what refrain me from completely dropping Chrome. |
Exactly @Naigel56 I keep reopening Chrome because I live in Germany and I don't speak the language. |
+1 another vote for this, living in a country who's primary language is not my own and the frustrating web devs who believe that location == language. |

+1 this would be awesome to have! |
+1 please guys please please please fix it, fix it and Brave is close to perfect. |
cc @mandar-brave @davidtemkin @bbondy for prioritisation |
+1 Right click -> Translate is a plugin to take the browser to the next level. -For those who want to do that with a plugin, Mate Translate extension works perfectly good for my Brave Browser |
Hey guys, what´s the current status on this plugin/option? |
You need to download and crack mate translate. After install it you can use its plugin to translate pages in Brave Browser |
Mate Translate does not work well. Many pages I go to Mate will only translate menus and not the body. Highlighting text and translate sucks. Firefox also has the same issue as Brave in not having a native translator. I use this in Firefox and it works great. Maybe it could be ported over..... https://github.com/andreicristianpetcu/google_translate_this |

i find myself needing this more and more..
|
Please enable this feature! |
@serial02 may I know what kind of plugin do you use for translation? |
S3.Translatorhttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/s3translator/debnnjfbneojbmioajinefnflopdohjk I use it with Firefox – https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/s3_translator/ |
Will this work on file URLs? I have some local files that need translation that get updated a lot. |
yes, I know some of the translations are broken and it will take some time to translate the web page. So, it will be nice if brave have built-in translation features like google chrome or Microsoft Edge. |
I don't know, but if you test I'll be interested in the result. Bear in mind: translation by Google so I should not make the attempt with anything that's sensitive or confidential. Thanks. |
@grahamperrin for firefox I strongly recommend this (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/traduzir-paginas-web/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search) because I translate the webpage without jumping to other tabs |
S3.Translator does the same – In page translation for content – and more; you can try it at (for example) https://www.s3blog.org/s3gt.html S3.Translator:
… and so on. Historically, it was a pick of the month: |
this addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/s3_translator/) looks ok. But, the main drawback is this popup sometimes occurred in certain sites and I found it is quite annoying. But, this addon ((https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/traduzir-paginas-web/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search)) does not have this problem which is replicate the same experience as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge |
It's the forewarning that I mentioned in my previous comment. Users might not understand the implications. Enhancement request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2829503&p=14884322#p14884322 |
@grahamperrin if this addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/s3_translator/) have an option/checkboxes to allow the user to translate the HTTPS page to prevent that popup appears. I think that will be nice. |
I'm confused about the status of this issue.
|
I'm pretty sure that Brave is intentionally NOT supporting Google spyware in their browser. That's why I recommended the Yahoo (Babelfish) service above. it's open source and reliable. I have NO IDEA why some developer marked the status of this as closed. I'm pretty sure they haven't fulfilled the service yet. Unless they did it upstream and didn't tell anybody?? Devs? |
@crogonint Apertium (https://www.apertium.org/index.eng.html?dir=eng-epo#translation) is also open source and it is a good option as well |
@crogonint issue was closed because we don't have a way to offer the functionality at the moment. We did explore using Microsoft language APIs and @yrliou got it working- but there is still a significant cost associated with those. Recommending the extension which does translate doesn't have any operating cost for us On the API side, each call to Google/Microsoft/whoever is translating has a per-transaction cost. We can potentially open this issue again and mark it as blocked. We'd need help ID'ing a vendor which could help provide this and also not violate the user's privacy (since pages and content will be sent to vendor) cc: @rebron |
@bsclifton , I do understand you, but those extensions are not always working optimally. Most importantly, to my knowledge there is no any extensions that would be working in Brave mobile version. Has there been any plan on how to support translation feature in mobile? Also, has there been any internal calculation done on how much costs would come towards brave possession on opting for inbuilt translation through some vendors? Has there been also some work done internally in negotiating those costs for the translation service, like volume license, etc. ? This issue has taken indefinitely longer time to resolve fully and still there hasn't been any viable solution towards this most prominent translation problem. if the costs is not too high, then we believe some alternative ways of mitigating the costs should be planned without compromising this vital feature. |
Posted to Reddit in November 2019: – this three-year project is funded until the end of 2021. https://old.reddit.com/r/TranslationStudies/comments/dtppt3/-/f6y1yq2/ tl;dr

@rebron Yes, I know. I don't even know why you would pursue cost oriented
solutions. That's WHY I suggested Yahoo / Babelfish above. SURELY, there's
an open source version of that floating around somewhere. It was the first
and the best. It was blowing translations out of the water before Google
had their first micro-cluster talking together coherently. If you hit brick
walls, hit up the Internet Archive people. If anyone has the inside scoop
on old internet tech, it's those guys.

Maybe this can be made possible by relying on open-source neural machine translation API like Argos Translate. Argos Open Tech: https://www.argosopentech.com/ |
Now that's bizarre.. I just mentioned this discussion yesterday in a
conversation on the F-droid forums about the need for an open source
solution to replace Google Translate.
You might be interested in checking there, maybe everybody could team up
and get a ball rolling or something. :D

+1 for open source language translation specially on ios and android app where we cannot install the extension Please do implement an opensourced language translation feature in your mobile apps @bsclifton Thankyou |
In today’s internationalization, brave-browser should support in-page translation, but GitHub and some websites cannot be translated only with the Google Translate plugin. |
Any update regarding translation feature coming to brave mobile app? |
Best solution by far. S3. Can set homepages to be directly translated. It was afew clicks but on each route it translate automatically. Lifesafer! |
But not a soln for mobile version of brave as extensions support is not available in ios nor Android |
@stephyswe this is much more efficient than S3 https://github.com/FilipePS/Traduzir-paginas-web |
Why doesn't Brave use the same API as Vivaldi did? |
Maybe something similar to the firefox translations extension that works locally. |
Similar to what is offered in Chrome:
Per #237, you should also be able to trigger this process by right clicking on the page and pick
Translate
from the context menuThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
