Translate Posts

Translate Posts lets your community translate forum posts instantly with a single click. A simple language menu is added directly to posts, making multilingual discussions easy and seamless. The app supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, and Greek. Actually, it can use any language available on Google Translate. For better performance, translations are cached, so once a post is translated, it loads instantly on future views. The cache is automatically refreshed when the original content is edited.

This is an amazing application, but I have a small suggestion to improve the UI/UX.

We could modify the Translate button so that it automatically translates a post into the language currently selected on the forum, based on the available language list.

For example, if a user is using English, the post would immediately be translated into English without needing to manually select it from the list. If another language is selected, it would automatically translate into that language instead.

This would save users from unnecessary extra steps, since the logic could be improved to make the process more seamless.

Thank you.

Google Translate offers a free monthly quota of up to 500,000 characters. Within this limit, you can use it at no cost. Note that all characters count, including letters, spaces, and punctuation.

Once this amount is exceeded, charges apply based on the volume of translated text, and making it “automatic” would certainly exceed that limit.

You misunderstood me. I’m referring to automatic detection of the language being used, not automatic translation of every post. The language would then be determined based on the language selected on the website. The user wouldn’t have to choose it from a list, as it would be set automatically, and they would only need to click the “Translate” button under the post. Similar to how it works on X.

Good point, that will be awesome, but you can imagine how may language packs you need to translate each language? Or im missing something? Better to use geolocation and then language string can be chosen...
