[sword-devel] Dynamic automated translation of commentary or dictionary resources via Cloud service

[contact at tklein.info]

Hi Martin,

No, I have not. This is something I'd leave to people who focus on module work, not my metier at the moment.

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,

Have you considered up-front translation of English commentaries into languages where none exist?

Hi all,

If anyone would like to beta-test this new feature. Please let me know.

I could provide you access to a software beta as well as an access token for the translation service.

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi,

So I've had this idea to use Google Cloud Translation API to dynamically translate texts from commentary or dictionary entries into the currently chosen user interface language.

I implemented a prototype and it works.

Of course this is not something that would be enabled by default and people who like to be offline should not use such a feature.

However, for people who don't mind the use of internet bandwidth ... it could be quite useful, expanding the available resources in ones native language dramatically.

See an example screenshot of Ezra's commentary panel (on desktop) here<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IUXfnGutD2TnOQS9xLUj2js6f0-T-0EI/view?usp=drive_link>, in this case with auto-translated entries for Acts 15:39 in German.

Any thoughts?

Best regards,
Tobias
