Add inline language translation to posts in community board

Hi
Is there a way to add inline translation for the posts on a board?
I see a bunch of international members, but now all languages my brain can easily digest.
I can use browser for translation, but sometimes having inline translation like we see in FaceBook or Twitter would be more convenient.

Thanks in advance

I don’t believe this is possible, yet. We can check.
In the meanwhile, go to the Other language category, select the bell icon (top right) and select mute.
This will hide all the other languages. You can still access them via a muted category box at the bottom of the page.

Interestingly the inline translation plugin is installed and active.

I don’t want to mute )

Well, in the meanwhile, select the text on the page, right-click and choose your browsers translate option.
The plugin does not appear to be active. It is something that incurs cost for every translation that uses the available (MS, Google etc) api.

We are looking into why it isn’t working and will hopefully get it sorted soon. Thanks for the request.

Usually, on the old forum, you put into google translate the link to a topic and google will show a page with the page translated in the chosen language.

The engine of this forum doesn’t allow you to do this… Which is sad and a regression…

Example:

This:

Will result in this:

Doesn’t work because you need to be logged in.

All good
Google Chrome has contextual solution to translate a page, it just not always convenient versus inline where it translates only needed part
Thank you, disregard

I was logged in, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get the link for the topic… :wink:

And even if I am trying to log in, I am getting this:

I’m using the Firefox addon. Maybe that’s why it didn’t work for me.

I’ve got an open ticket with discourse to hopefully get their native solution working.

I have found this to be a regression as well, I can’t copy and paste and entire topic into a translator either.

Works perfectly for me
Thank you so much

Works… Kinda…
During reading a topic and using the inline translation, I’ve got this message that broke my enthusiasm…
Am I reading to fast? :smile:
Is there a setting for this?
Thanks!

This is a limited API service, so it has limits to prevent abuse (robots basically).

I have increased the allowed limit from 3 to 6 translations per minute, per person.

Let me know if you still have issues and I can increase it further (to a point).

Hi Guy @guystewart

Issue today, when, on the first click on this day, first time after the above discussion, I got this error:
