Nice article @susan.

@varsha: Thanks!

I am already loving this feature. I moderate the IrfanView Support Forums, which has a German section. My knowledge of German is even less than my grade F in French O Level, so the page translator saves me a lot of time.

@pesala: Glad you're getting good use from it. As an immigrant to Norway, this feature comes in very handy for me, as well!
-
@catweazle: Much appreciated!
-
I am definitely appreciative of the privacy aspect while still providing translations
-
Translator lacks translate selected text. That feature exists in Edge. In Vivaldi I still need to keep google translate extension for that.
-
even though i love Vivaldi the translate feature is a bit irritating esp when its popping up every time again it could be better as a addon feature for those who are interested

@ronnl Just uncheck "Offer to Translate Pages", the translator will remain active and when you need it just click on the icon in the address bar.

I really miss the ability to translate text into the browser interface language. I understand English in half, all my computer programs, including Vivaldi, use an English interface, but I often have to read more complex English texts. The translation option would be very helpful, but Vivaldi does not allow translation from English if the Vivaldi interface language is English. This is very inconvenient.

Glad to see the comment about selected text being translatable in the future.
This is probably one of my favorite blog posts so far - I loved the video and the medium article linked by Lingvanex's creator.
Even though sites like Twitter have a built in translator feature, web browser built in translators are superior since it translates the whole page, so I don't have to click "Translate this tweet" for every tweet in at thread.
I love that Vivaldi continues to add features with privacy in mind.

The translation seems to have some difficulty in some cases. For example at https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/emboîtement/28597 in the paragraph following the heading "EXPRESSIONS", the text "théorie en faveur jusqu'au" gets translated, but because of SPAN and SUP tags enclosing "xviii" and "e" right after, all the subsequent text in the paragraph stays in French.

You have finally convinced me to permanently switch to Vivaldi. This was the number 1 feature that kept me stuck on Chrome for so long since many websites I use are in the Czech language and need translation. Even the fact that it's also on Android, it's so smooth and it's on par if not actually better than Chrome's translator. I will be recommending this to my colleagues too.
