Vivaldi translates selected text into a selection of languages, more privately.
-
The vivaldi translator has errors and does not translate all the text.
I translated the website from English to Spanish, but there are some sentences that were not translated. I select the text in English, I click on the secondary menu, I select translate selected text; It does not translate it and the text that appears I do not know what language it is.

@eggcorn Please check the links on any of our results. You will see that they lead directly to the site with no tracking code, ads tracking, affiliate codes or anything. (While you are it, you should go check redirect chains on ads from other search engines or review sites. They usually have tons of tracking parameters!)

@gibr This is a good suggestion. Will look into tweaking the privacy text. We are also looking into separating the privacy policy for visitors to our marketing site from the one for Neeva users. This will also help provide more clarity. Thanks much for your feedback.

Great update
How can I set a language to be the default to be translated to? It always resets to english. -
This is a great feature, however it has one big flaw/bug, that makes it unusable for me at the moment:
Vivaldi doesn't remember the language it should translate text into. I'm using Vivaldi in English (US) language, but my native language is German. So I've configured Vivaldi to display web pages in German first and then English. However, when I want to translate selected text, Vivaldi always translates text to English (US), because that is my browser's language. When I change that to translate text into German, Vivaldi doesn't remember my setting. So the next time I want to translate something, it goes back to translating into English (US) again.
I guess I can't uninstall the Google Translate extension just yet, because I don't want to fiddle with the settings everytime I want to translate an unknown word. Could you please look into this and fix it in one of the next releases? I've also filed a bug report: VB-82913
Thank you!

I tested your bug report and i could not reproduce your issue.
For me, if i select an other text on the loaded webpage, the destination language always stays German.

@doctorg Go to another website and then translate text again. It switches back to English (US) for me. I want Vivaldi to globally remember my choice, so that everything gets translated into German by default, no matter what.

I will add this to the report now.
You never told that in bug report.

I think that is a missing feature, not a bug.
But it would be nice to have feature to remember the last used target language._bug hunter · Volunteer helper · Sopranos tester · Language DE,EN

Thanks for report. I confirmed the issue now in tracker.

@sridharneeva congratulations on launching Neeva. A company must be able to thrive to be able to offer something. Among various business models out there, asking for a subscription is the best where there is recurring server maintenance and other infrastructure cost involved.
I would like to know if there is any plan to have India specific prices in ₹.
I use DDG primarily because of its "!bangs" feature (and of course privacy). Is there any community like we have here in Vivaldi where such ideas can be discussed for Neeva?
-
@doctorg Sorry, my bad! Thank you for adding that to my report and also for confirming the issue. I really appreciate your help!
-
@hellbillydeluxe The most problems for bug reports we get, they 're incomplete (missing information, bad step-by-spe description etc.) and thus not reproducible.
Do not feel offended by prev sentence.
If you have luck and someone from dev/support team has enough spare time, thy could ask back to reporter by mail.
I try to help and ask the reporter in forum if i have the time (i am volunteer, not a Vivaldi employee).

@doctorg I'm not offended, no worries. In general, I try to be as detailed as possible when filing a bug report. However, I somehow missed the important part this time. Will make sure to pay better attention next time!

The built-in translation feature makes the Vivakdi browser more user-friendly for me. Great idea!
-
can vivaldi please prioritize a fix for these bugs in the next version?

@sridharneeva: I usually search international and I don't care much about languages. Is there an option to not deliver better local results to me?
-
@tsunamiz: They won't. They prefer adding new features and leaving important basic browser stability bugs open forever, making us unable to use this browser for longer than a few hours. I also experienced bugs like the ones you mentioned.
