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
