This was motivated by this thread: #111201
I thought I'd build something to solve the situation instead of just throwing shit at each other regarding this, lol
I also thought that this may be used in the future for inspiration if SN ever decides to provide built-in translation.
I am using https://libretranslate.com/ for the actual translation.
They have a limit of 200 requests per day (and per IP address).
I noticed that the translation is not as good as Google Translate.
For example, the comments in the thread above are translated like this:
Translated:
I like someone who laughs my room?
Good man
Actual:
do you like it when someone clutters your room?
nice straw man

Good initiative, it would makes thing smoother. We must see clearly on the post that it has been translated, and one click should revert to original. Or maybe @k00b thinks it's efforts for nothing and we should just translate with add-on browser ?
