Some Kind of Built In Translator

Open seniorm0ment opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Would be cool to see some kind of built in translator. Obviously Google wouldn't be the option here, I don't know off hand what exactly exists that works great as a privacy oriented alternative. Maybe Google could work if it's proxied on the backend of Nitter or something? Not sure. But it would be very nice to see translation ability.

Google has a backend/internal API that's undocumented but people have found and slowly figured it out, myself included. You can see some reference code here, perhaps it could be implemented.

Can it be implemented or not?

Sure, just requires JavaScript.
