Add a translate this page feature to Orion that uses Kagi Translate. Similiar to Summarize Page, a user should be able to right-click and select Translate Page. It would also be nice to include a translate button at the end of the url bar, similar to Safari.

  • URL bar option
  • Righ-click context menu

    oooo this would be really useful since I do a lot of reading of spanish websites

    I'd also love this feature, perhaps by detecting the language on the page and auto-translating when a specific language is encountered.

      Vlad stickied the discussion .

        Perhaps this feature can be added to the website settings to enable automatic translation when visiting specific websites.
        However, the translation for kagi seems unable to translate dynamically generated content, and this flaw may affect the browsing experience, so the feature I proposed is open for discussion.

          Apple has an API for this.
          I am not sure why Orion decided to skip it, maybe they are cooking something better?

          But yes, a must have feature for all modern browsers.

          Edit: Holy god. I just tried Kagi translate. It's just amazing.
          Why is it not implemented with Orion?

            While not exactly here is a slightly modified bookmarklet that gets the job done. If you have text selected it gets translated, if not the current page is opened in translate, and if you are on the start page, then it just opens translate.

            javascript:void%20function()%7Bjavascript:(function()%7Bvar%20a=window.getSelection().toString().trim();window.location.href=%22https://translate.kagi.com/%22+(a%3F%22%3Ftext=%22+encodeURIComponent(a):window.location.href.startsWith(%22orion%22)%3F%22%22:encodeURIComponent(window.location.href))%7D)()%7D();

              Would be nice to add the translate option to the url bar where the other options such as “summarise this” can be found, that way it keeps the url bar tidy and minimal

                What I mean is to add a Kagi translate option to this menu list and it could show the translation either in the same tab or in a new one.
