The addition of an inline translation feature to the Orion Browser would significantly enhance its usability and competitiveness. Inline translation allows users to instantly translate web pages without needing to copy and paste text into external tools or use third-party extensions. This feature is already implemented in popular browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Edge, and its inclusion in Orion would position it as a modern, user-centric browser.

Automatic Detection: Orion could automatically detect the language of a web page and prompt the user to translate it if it differs from their default language.

One-Click Translation: A simple button in the address bar or context menu to translate the page instantly.

Selective Translation: Users could highlight specific text and right-click to translate only the selected portion.

Customizable Preferences: Options to set preferred languages for automatic translation or to enable/disable the feature altogether.

Privacy-Focused Implementation: Translation should be handled in a way that aligns with Orion’s privacy-first philosophy. This could involve using Apple’s On Device Translation or the Kagi Translate API, ensuring both privacy and quality.

      I also can't wait for this, to have a one-button "translate" in the browser chrome that utilises translate.kagi.com to translate the entire website in situ.

      In the meantime I manually add "translate.kagi.com/" before the URL in the URL bar, but a friend of mine is also on the cusp of moving to Orion once this is implemented. Thanks!
