Embedded translation

ToastySTENCH

Hello!
Lately I've noticed this forum is becoming more diverse, which I enjoy and peaks my interest. But
for the moderators of the forum, I'm just wondering and hoping if there are enough resources in this forum to maybe consider implementing a built in translation for comments. I've seen it elsewhere in a similar fashion. Jumping to google to translate is no big deal, but its time consuming so I've instead doubled my text as spanish sometimes as vile was the sole frequent user who did not speak English wholly on this forum. But now we have French, Arabic, Spanish and of course English. It may grow, and I can't really go beyond doubling my comment for multiple translations... it would just be nice to have a built in translation within this forum if at all possible and feasible. Like a small T button with arrows spinning it as a suggestion for a translation button.

Thank you.

نعم، أتفق، فهذا سيجعل التواصل بلغات أخرى أسهل. وأتمنى إضافة ميزة في اللعبة مثل زر صغير بجانب النص يعمل بالذكاء الاصطناعي. لقد رأيت هذه الخاصية في لعبة قبل سنوات.

ToastySTENCH Great idea, this is an international forum after all, it’s not just an English forum.

I find that most players who don’t speak English tend to visit the forum and leave after a few days. Must be annoying having to google translate every single post.

Hello @ToastySTENCH
Thanks for your feedback.
We'll pass it on to our team for further consideration.

Arabian This isn't a feature for the game, it's a feature for here. It's so posts like yours here can be automatically translated without being copy pasted into Google Translate.

Cartrimino

Wait never mind I just read your post for like a second longer and realised that you were saying something similar could be added to the game

We, the Arabs, have added a feature to an MMO game that allows translating text from English to Arabic or disabling the translation. We also added Arabic voice dubbing using AI.

Arabian I've also seen it in mobile phone apps too. These are embedded within an .exe where as this website is not. I havent actually seen a live AI powered translation in a forum - only games. But it would be very neat and would encourage more diversity too. Im sure some non-english speakers have visited this forum and decide to leave since its a task to translate literally every thing you read just to be a involved member of this forum.

Yes , at least in the forum there is Google Translate. But what about a game that doesn’t support your language and you don’t know English? There is no Google Translate, so all you do is take out your phone, get bored, and translate everything through your phone.
Like I did in writing, that’s why I decided to focus on my language from now on and write in my language because there is a translator, at least in the forum, but in the game there isn’t.

Arabian There isn't a translator in the forum.

Arabian I actually didn’t know you could do that, seems useful.

ToastySTENCH

Arabian That's very useful, but my concern isn't for myself. It's more so for those who visit this forum with intent to stay, but leave once they feel alienated - because most probably don't know this chrome trick and likely painfully translate each piece of text.

Great for me and whoever else reads this though! I'll check it out.

Arabian That's not a translator in the forum that's a translator on your phone. Thanks for telling me though 👍

I don't know if you know the way or not, but if it doesn't appear, all you have to do is download Google Translate on your device, and I think it will appear next to three dots.

Well, on a PC with Firefox you can translate certain pages, but only one language at a time.
Pues en PC con firefox puedes traducir ciertas paginas, pero solo un idioma a la vez.

For example, in games, there are screen translator apps

Hey guys, going to bump this thread again as I found a solution I can use in the meantime, and anyone else using Google Chrome on their smartphone. I'll attach a short video to this comment instead of explaining through text.
