<p>I have friends in places where Internet is expensive and
intermittent. One way to improve your idea would be to at least
make a local cache of whatever the user has accessed so that if
the same dictionary entry or commentary section is accessed again,
it comes from the local cache. Of course, better yet is to have
the resources pretranslated in total and downloaded all at once
(like when in town) and then accessed offline (like when back out
in their villages in the jungle).</p>

<p>Hi, <br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
I implemented a prototype and it works. <br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
See an example screenshot of Ezra's commentary panel (on
desktop) <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IUXfnGutD2TnOQS9xLUj2js6f0-T-0EI/view?usp=drive_link">
here</a>, in this case with auto-translated entries for Acts
15:39 in German. <br>
<br>
Any thoughts? <br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
Tobias</p>
