Guest Pirate Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 When I go to translate a post, I don't get English as an option, even if most of the thread is English. My only option is to pick a language at random, like German or Polish, which then brings up English as an option. Some languages are always hard to translate, but some translations are so bad I think I might be making it worse, French to German to English as an example. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Je ne pense pas qu'il y ai une solution miracle avec les translateurs actuellement... :( Moi, afin d'avoir une chance de mieux comprendre et traduire, j'utilise Google traduction mais aussi réverso. http://www.reverso.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ww_watcher Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Pirate, sometimes a word is misspelled, or a phase is used incorrectly, and it throws the translation off. I don't know why English isn't offered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why English isn't offered? Because it is an English Website with people posting from all over there are add ons for browser that will let you translate the whole page or just selected text. Also Chrome has Google translate built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I use Chrome. Right click and then left click on Translate this page. It's still half assed, but better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foamy T. Squirrel Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I use everything but IE. And I generally operate with TWO monitors. I load one with either the google, bing, or other translator, and copy and paste between the CamCaps window and the translator window. I have tried the in-built "Translate page" functions on the web browsers in the past, and gotten totally tied into knots. Go ahead and change the language on your TV and you and your unsuspecting family members will understand what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
