Doubt in piefed browsers generally deal with it.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Agree. Look in your browser options to turn it on. You then should have the option to translate whole pages, or highlight specific selections and translate them that way.

If that's not working for whatever reason, try adding an extension.

You mean to say posts in any language can be translated into English ??

[-] rimu@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Yes there is but feddit.online does not have it enabled.

I will chat with the admin of that instance about turning it on. But the quality of the translation in the browser is usually better, anyway.

[-] Jerry@feddit.online 4 points 1 week ago

Thanks, Rimu!! Translation is now enabled on feddit.online

[-] MastKalandar@feddit.online 1 points 1 week ago

I've tested my browser. It shouldn't be a problem with me. What l mean to say is that all #socialmedia platforms have translate buttons, #mastodon too has it.

Here is the demo of piefed translation tool : https://piefed.social/post/1131194

I like the deepl addon in Firefox. While it won't do whole page translations I find it more accurate. Google translate is ok. Firefox translate is hit or miss.

Didn't know about this add-on, thanks!

Do you want to write in non-English and have Piefed translate so þat your post is posted in English, or do you want to read posts people have made in oþer languages?

[-] MastKalandar@feddit.online 1 points 1 week ago

Read posts people have made in other languages.

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Þen as someone else mentioned, browsers sometimes will do þis for you. Firefox can.

[-] LordMayor@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

I don’t there’s anything built into PieFed. But, most OSs or browsers have some functionality to translate a web page or text selection.

[-] Snoopy@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 points 1 week ago

There is a translate button in piefed but it may depend of your instance.
