Which Translator should i use
-
Meanwhile, I had to open all of these articles with Google Chrome, because I needed the easy right-click translate to English option which is conveniently accessible and only properly usable on Chrome.

It is not necessary, I use IM Translator in Vivaldi. This incorporates 4 translation engines (Google, Bing, Yandex and one of its own)
Voice, dictionary, phrase translation or the entire page. with one click -
@SorinMOprea Google Translate is built into Chrome. If another browser wants it, they must pay huge licensing fees. There are some open-source translators, and who knows? Vivaldi might incorporate one some day.

Of course there are Open Source translators, the problem is, that none can compete in functionality and vocabulary with the Google translator, or perhaps Bing. At least the ones I've tried left a lot to be desired in the translations.
I think that at the moment there is no real alternative to using an extension. -
@Catweazle That addon doesn't really compare to the built-in functionality in Chrome. If I am using web applications that require me to log in and are in another language, then that addon is useless as it will try to send the page to Google Translate and embed it in an iFrame, which will not work. So yes, this feature is really missing from Vivaldi. I have switched over to Firefox as Vivaldi is full of bugs with web pages not working properly and the JS engine being too unstable. There are multiple websites (for example Workday) where buttons don't work (clicking them doesn't do anything) while in Google Chrome or Firefox they work without issues. Firefox has an addon somewhere on GitHub that actually allows translation by force injecting the Google translate header in the page, thus it will work even under logged in sessions. It was a fun ride, but the Vivaldi you call as stable is actually more like a pre-alpha version and is not suitable for use in an enterprise environment due to mentioned bugs. Good luck making this browser stable.

Translating a page is a piece of cake with a custom Google Translate engine!
