[Userscript] Automatically translate Non-English text to English while posting

[Sterlino]

Here, many users may not be proficient in English. They also have to post in English. So, they write in their native language and use Google Translate or another translator. With the help of this userscript, if you paste a non-English language directly, it will be translated into English or if you type directly in your native language, it will be automatically translated into English after the sentence is finished. I apologize if someone has already created a script like this before but I did not find any such script, so I thought it could be shared on the forum.  It may be convenient for users. I used AI as a coding assistant to help with development quickly and debugging.

How it will work.

Chrome's built-in language detector and translator API have been used. As a drawback, it cannot be used in firefox. Because the built-in free translator API as cannot be used directly in firefox. It will support all languages available in Chrome Translator API.

Features

• Pasting and typing  native language text will automatically translate to English.
• Automatic translation will occur when the sentence is finished
• A debounce delay of about 450ms is given after typing. So that processing starts after sentence completion normally so that it doesn't start repeatedly while typing
• No API, no popup, no extra button or interface, simple and minimalistic

Example

I believe this tool will lead to a lot of posts will be flagged as AI. Google Translate uses LLMs too and when we use any AI detector, the results will be more of positrive for AI content, so it is better not to use translator tools to post.

One need to be okay with their english if they want to interact in the main board, doesn't need to be perfect it has to be okaish and if they can't even manage that then it is better for them to stay away from main board.

Anyone who uses something like this should include in the post that it was translated with AI.

I agree with this but a member could have a request they want an answer to, that no one is technical enough in their local board to provide. Some others may not have a local board here at all.

Valid reason to post beyond their local board but in that case they don't need to post it as the original contents because it is not their original writing, they can always use quote tags and paste the translated content inside them which mitigates the post being considered AI and any other things related to it.

[Upgrade00]

Translated posts are still the content of the original writer. If someone translates a post into a different language they will still have to quote the author.
It's only not your content if you asked AI to write a text for you on that topic or you copied it.

[The Cryptovator]

I won’t welcome these tools; this script is really unnecessary when there are a lot of AIs to do this job. But it will be detected as AI content, as other users have already said. So using your script means users posting through AI directly. Using the AI agent and using your script is same.

Most probably users will get banned if they use those tools constantly. It means, besides being unnecessary, that tools will be risky to use for the forum users at least. This isn’t a great job when Google translations have existed for a long time. Users simply could use Google Translate and copy-paste, but that will be AI content. Same for your tools as well.

Also, if you want to reply in the English section, then you have to understand English as well; using a translator for reading posts would lead to misunderstandings or misinformation. Then your reply won't be relevant to the topic and would be considered spam as well. So at least I am not going to use those tools.

I apologize if someone has already created a script like this before but I did not find any such script, so I thought it could be shared on the forum.

Similar tool available already. I found this in the 6th page of Meta.

Personally, I do not fancy translation tools, as it tends to mix up context at times. It also lack cultural nuance thereby leading to mistranslation at times too. It is better to learn and improve in your English before posting in the English boards, avoid shortcuts.

If you feel your topic needs to reach the English boards, it is better you politely ask an experienced user in your local board who is fluent in English to help you out with the translation. This way you will save yourself of any unnecessary drama that comes with using ai for your translation.

You have raised a logical point. Even then, those who are less proficient in English language may depend on Google Translate. it seems that Google Translate has added Gemini based translation. So, if you translate there, there may be AI related problems, but this script uses Chrome' Translator API, so there may be less chance of AI tone creation here.   

Google Translate also keep an option that allows you to use the classic version instead of the AI-powered translation if you wish.

I saw this when I searched to see if there was any userscript like this before . Here only the post translation feature is given.
And the one I shared, when you write a realtime post in your native language in the reply box, when a sentence ends, it will automatically be translated into English.

[DYING_S0UL]

No offence OP, but using this particular tools is like "Digging your own grave", or at least i think it that way.

In the early days, when AI wasn't this rampant, maybe then something like this would have been acceptable. But right now, when everyone is into AI, and everything is deeply integrated with AI (or in the process of it). And assuming you know forum is really strict with the use of AI for posting. So for the sake of that, and in order to keep ourselves from getting banned, we need to keep ourselves away from such automated tools.

Yeah, if you are confused, then use AI or google translator or other tool to explain it to you. But nothing more than that.

If one cannot read write English, then they should learn it instead. If they can write (even with broken English), and make others understand their opinion. Then that's more than ok. Nobody wants/expects perfect English, nor anybody would complain against one another for having grammer faults.

Imagine including in almost every of your post in the general board that it was done with Ai translator, a lot of persons wouldn't take you seriously because they think your post isn't natural. English is not that hard to learn in a short time of intense devotion to learning it. And It doesn't also has to be perfect just as Findingnemo rightly said, it just has to be able to communicate the message to the receiver/reader and it's okay.
I have always maintained it that as long as English isn't your native language you don't have to be a perfectionist at it to feel comfortable communicating with it.

I don't know why they wouldn't. I personally will take them very serious and applaud the desire to communicate here and get answers to their questions especially when those questions are genuine. The core of bitcoin is being borderless and connecting people from everywhere in the world, with this I will expect those on the forum for bitcoin to be as accommodating to everyone with an interest.

Do you think this is us here over rating the forum just a bit?
Learning a new language is hard. People pay for classes, take several lessons, connect online to people that can help them brush up their learning in regular conversations, if they do not have any native speakers around them. This takes months and sometimes years and even at that point lots of concepts and words used here will still be lost on them.
I sure as hell will not learn French or Mandarin to simply communicate on a forum I am interested in.

If someone improves their English by being here, that's a plus, not a requirement. If the technology exists to allow seamless communication between people from around the world, then it should be embraced.
Sorry to the op for going somewhat off topic.

I don't like tools like this being used in bitcointalk forum for every posting.
It's OK to use translation sometimes if you don't speak good enough English, but you don't need any userscript for that.
That is why we have local boards here, so you can speak your local language.

No offence OP, but using this particular tools is like "Digging your own grave", or at least i think it that way.

In the early days, when AI wasn't this rampant, maybe then something like this would have been acceptable. But right now, when everyone is into AI, and everything is deeply integrated with AI (or in the process of it). And assuming you know forum is really strict with the use of AI for posting. So for the sake of that, and in order to keep ourselves from getting banned, we need to keep ourselves away from such automated tools.

Yeah, if you are confused, then use AI or google translator or other tool to explain it to you. But nothing more than that.

If one cannot read write English, then they should learn it instead. If they can write (even with broken English), and make others understand their opinion. Then that's more than ok. Nobody wants/expects perfect English, nor anybody would complain against one another for having grammer faults.

Personally, I don't have any problem with English. When I was observing some posts, sometimes the meaning of the writing seemed a little different. So I was thinking they may have shared opinions by using translator. Considering that I decided to build this script. It took me a lot of time. But I had little idea about the forum. I had no idea about how would be react or what kind of negative things could be created. That's why many people criticized although their opinions are logical.

Now I am going through a bit of a busy time. Although I regularly come here , I give time to observe peoples opinions, learning new , trying to gain some deep knowledge about Bitcoin. Thank you for your opinion. In addition, many people gave their opinions to which taught me a lot.

Blah, blah, blah. Of course, the world is moving forward precisely because more people are communicating more than ever before—thanks to translation tools—while this forum is filled with naysayers saying they shouldn't be used. I've been using them for years—I've mentioned this in other threads and I'll say it again here—mainly deepl.com. And if the detectors start giving false positives by flagging something you've created and simply translated as AI-generated, then we'll have to rethink the criteria and not the other way around.

Should I remind everyone of this?

AI guidelines

You should not copy/paste text written by an AI into a post, with these exceptions:
<...>
 - If you have the AI do almost a direct translation of something you wrote, then that's OK. For example, you can tell the AI to "Directly translate this text into Spanish: <something you wrote>" or "Output the following text exactly as-is, except with any clear spelling or grammar mistakes fixed: <something you wrote>". It's not OK to tell an AI, "Improve this text: <something you wrote>", since then it will mostly rewrite it, and it risks becoming AI slop in the process.

theymos allows AI translation, even English to local languages.

I won’t welcome these tools; this script is really unnecessary when there are a lot of AIs to do this job. But it will be detected as AI content, as other users have already said. So using your script means users posting through AI directly. Using the AI agent and using your script is same.

Most probably users will get banned if they use those tools constantly. It means, besides being unnecessary, that tools will be risky to use for the forum users at least. This isn’t a great job when Google translations have existed for a long time. Users simply could use Google Translate and copy-paste, but that will be AI content. Same for your tools as well.

Also, if you want to reply in the English section, then you have to understand English as well; using a translator for reading posts would lead to misunderstandings or misinformation. Then your reply won't be relevant to the topic and would be considered spam as well. So at least I am not going to use those tools.

You have to be the one to say this? You went from writing terrible English to almost perfect English overnight. Are you saying you don't use any tools?

I agree with you, I don't see a big problem with using a translation tool.
It is clear that if the tool instead generates content that is not beautiful, it would give rise to the theory of a dead internet.
However, I don't think this is the case, bitcoin is of interest to everyone to escape from the control of states.

[BitBakerr1]

I believe this tool will lead to a lot of posts will be flagged as AI. Google Translate uses LLMs too and when we use any AI detector, the results will be more of positrive for AI content, so it is better not to use translator tools to post.

Anyone who uses something like this should include in the post that it was translated with AI.

English is not that hard to learn in a short time of intense devotion to learning it.

You feel English is not hard because it is one of your language used in your country, are you going to also say the same thing for other languages that you don’t know about or is not used in your country for example are you going to say Spanish is not that hard.

English would be very difficult for those living in a country where English is hardly being spoke.

However, I believe there’s nothing on earth that one cannot learn like you said with devotion one can learn it but it’s actually difficult for those living in countries where English is not spoken.

hahahahaha

sorry dont agree - and im a native english speaker

but as been said, broken english is fine by me. if theres a real issue comprehending something ill just ask for clarification if it seems interesting enough.

I don't think the guy understood what he said. None native English Speakers use more than 12 years to learn English and that is 6 years in Primary school and 6 years in Secondary School or College and in University or higher degree again. The major problem for the third world countries in English is the structure (syntax).

And if such tool is used to translate posts, other tools will detect it has an AI post therefore it is better to use your basic knowledge to write. Once the decoder understand the encoder then communication has been created for the discussion. So there is no need for a tool.

Using this tool will affect the user of learning to communicate in the forum because he will like to use it at all time since the tool will make things easy for him and he will not bother to learn.

[NotATether]

Google Translate also keep an option that allows you to use the classic version instead of the AI-powered translation if you wish.

They are both AI.

People seem to have forgotten that there was AI before ChatGPT.

In any case, the entire premises of Google Translate was built on the idea that you could recognize what people are saying using machine learning models and natural language processing. This is what the Classic mode is, in essence.

So, it still uses AI. Just not Generative AI that takes text and makes text.

Not exactly. I just feel that nothing can't be learnt and this includes Spanish language because there are people I know that ain't Spaniards but can write and speak in Spanish language with understanding. All they did was learn it, nevertheless, am not either condemning any user having difficulty with English language since it's not our native language.

Ok.

Maybe I oversimplified it in my wordings but all I was just trying to state is that if anyone tries to learn it they can gradually understand and know how to at least communicate with it.

I don't think the guy understood what he said. None native English Speakers use more than 12 years to learn English and that is 6 years in Primary school and 6 years in Secondary School or College and in University or higher degree again.

All these procedures are for persons that want to learn it as a profession.
