Feature request: Show both translation result and original text when doing a file translation

Open bleedingsaber opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, thanks for building such a powerful translation plugin, I think it's more powerful than those in obsidian plugin market.

I just realize it's more convenient when reading translation and original text in one file, because most translations are not very accurate and we need to see original text to get the meaning.

Will you consider to add a feature, when doing a file translation, show translation result and original text paragraph by paragraph, for example:

when we translate an English file to Chinese, the file finally show like this:


Obsidian is a powerful and extensible knowledge base that works on top of your local folder of plain text files. Obsidian 是一个强大且可扩展的知识库它适用于纯文本文件的本地文件夹。

Everything is connected 一切都已连接

The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. Your second brain should work the same. 人脑是非线性的:我们总是从一个想法跳到另一个想法。你的第二个大脑应该同样工作。

In Obsidian, making and following connections is frictionless. Tend to your notes like a gardener; at the end of the day, sit back and marvel at your own knowledge graph. 在 Obsidian 中,建立和跟随连接是无摩擦的。像园丁一样照顾你的笔记;在一天结束时,坐下来惊叹于您自己的知识图谱。


I am not sure this is a feature most people will need or not but it's definitely a difficult and complicated feature. I don't know obsidian plugin system can realize this or not, if not, you can just pass my request.

Thank you for your great feedback!

This is definitely something I could (and would like to) implement, though it will take me a while to get to - as I'm currently swamped with other work.

Whenever I do get started on this feature, I'll share some of the design ideas here so you can give your input on it!
