The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet::Mozilla has announced the release of an update to its Firefox browser. In version number 118, users will find a significant innovation - a built-in translator
Would be good to have this in the mobile/tablet versions also (I just checked and didn’t see it), as this is my main reason for still using chrome
Would be great to have that on Lemmy Sync app, too! After browsing a while, a large proportion of posts start being in languages I dont understand.
I’ve started blocking communities h that operate in specific languages I don’t know. Im recent memory, a Spanish instance opened and my feed got flooded with posts in Spanish, so I went and blocked these communities not out of ill will but because their posts are meaningless to me except for the odd guessing game what words might mean.
A reliable, integrated translation feature would open a new world of content for me there (though I’m not sure it could translate Spanish memes, unless it supports OCR, and Spanish news are probably of little interest to me)
Lemmy allows you to select the languages you wish to see in settings. It mostly works for me. Mostly, because some posts/comments are “Undetermined”, and if you deselect that, you may miss on some posts and comments.
The majority of content is “undetermined” because most users don’t take the time to set it. You’re likely missing out on more than you realize.
I’m fairly sure I set that, but I might have to double-check
It has online translation if you sign up for Sync Ultra. I believe it uses Google Translate.
Sync app offers translation but only for the paid version and you have to manually choose to translate
