I guess it could be implemented to translate any languaje of comments into any languaje of user using an translation API. I recommend DeepL API, if you can afford the costs, because:

  • It’s private and data it’s deleted inmediately, thing we can’t expect of any Google API.
  • It has language recognizion, useful for the purpose.
  • DeepL it’s way more accurrate than Google Translate. It’s almost perfect. Do the test: translate something into any language and do it back to English. Words will have changed but meaning no.
  • It even has the option of select between formal and informal translations. I guess we could give the user the option, but in general it should be informal. This looks like a promo but I really don’t want to be used Google Translator when it’s actually bad and this is one of the best alternatives. I have been using this a long time and I’m very satisfied.

This does not require any external API, InnerTube supports comment translation. I believe Alex will implement it in the extractor.

Ok, considering that all VueTube working will be through VueTube extractor, how will it work? Offline translation implemented in the app or online?

There's not really much of a point in implementing offline translations. You'd run into difficulties seeing the comments in the first place
