Translating the forums

[carlos]

I know some of you who are not fluent in English use some software so that the forums are translated into your language. When you post something, it is translated into English too.

 

What software do you use? Can you please explain in a simple way how you do it?

 

We have some members who cannot speak English and don't know how to use a translator this way and they would benefit a lot from such step by step explanations.

I'm interested in Qapla's Klingon translator.

I am impressed!

It would be nice to have access to the translation program created by our own brothers, which they use to translate literature into hundreds of languages. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Google itself trying to buy this program? I remember hearing this "story". 😀

I like to use Deepl Plego and Sayhi, I am not a fan of google so I don't use google translate.🤣

[Ludwika]

As I'm from English stock (well, half Polish but never mind 😅), I can tell you I don't need a translator app, we just SPEAK LOUDER! 😂

Thanks, Ying. But do you go and translate every post manually, and then translate your reply back manually too?

I am looking for some software which does this more or less automatically.

 

If you use Chrome, you can set it to automatically translate webs from English into your language. It works quite well. You click on a link in JWTalk and everything is translated on the fly. Now I'm trying to find a way to type in your own language and have the reply automatically translated back into English, without having to go to a different web, paste the text, then copy the translation. Not sure if such software exists.

I think I found an easy and free solution for computers using Windows. Probably it can be adapted to Mac, Android and others too.

 

- First, use Chrome browser.

- Second, install this DeepL extension into Chrome (it's free and safe): https://www.deepl.com/en/chrome-extension

 

 

When you visit a website in a language foreign to you, such as JWTalk.net, Chrome offers to translate it into your own language. If it doesn't, you can open the option with this button:

 

 

Once you select your language, the whole page is translated on the fly, in my case into Spanish:

 

 

 

Now a translate icon appears on the lower right corner of the textbox (that's the DeepL extension). Click on it and it will immediately translate your text back into English. (The first time you may have to click on the gauge and select English).

I only translate those English words that I do not understand, most of the posts I can understand. So it is not always necessary to translate.😀

Unfortunately, I am using Microsoft Edge. I am also used to reading English. Translating the whole page into my native language doesn't make sense to me. It reads strangely 🤣

I was trying to help a sister who doesn't speak a word of English. If you can understand English, the method I described above is not for you.

By the way, DeepL extension is available for Edge too.

[Exter]

I use DeepL, while i am a little bit lazy. For quick skim reading, my English skills are 
sufficient. But not for correct and accurate reading.

I'm glad this topic was started. It brings up something that has been a growing problem, at least for me. I realize that some on the forums do not have English as their native language, and need help with translating some or all of the posts into their language. There's nothing wrong with that. But when that person replies to a post (thereby showing the original post in a quote box), the quoted post shows up in their language, not in English! I don't like that. I can't read what he is replying to!

 

Okay, maybe that's something to do with JWTalk. But is there a way to keep their translated quote in English, its original language? That way I wouldn't have to back up and find the original post in order to understand what he's replying to.

[Qapla]

Thanks for mentioning that, Eric - I have wondered the same thing

Eric, I think that's precisely a consequence of this process of using a translator. The text in the quoted posts is translated too.

I don't see any way to work around that. I'm afraid we will have to put up with it.

[WestBro]

To comment, I'm still in Google translator through the Chrome browser, on my Android. And to read the posts I use the browser's native translation feature.

 

But I'm going to run some experiments based on what I've seen here. And if my comment is confusing, forgive Google, it's still learning.
