Hey wk,

I found this tool called "QTranslate" from here...

https://windowsreport.com/offline-translation-software-pc/ 

QTranslate is a powerful offline translation tool that supports most of the widely spoken languages around the world.

...so it sais OFFLINE. Now I tried it out and did download the portable version but it does not work offline only using online services like google, MS, DeepL etc which are working so far. Online yes, Offline No.

Hey wk,

yes that xdxf files I can download and add but its only a dictionary to check single words etc what is ok but I wanted to have a total translation tool for entire text. By the way, that "Firefox plugin for offline translation" does really work without internet to translate sites. :) Something like that I need just for text to copy / paste etc. Are there also any extensions I can use to translate some text parts via selection without to go any translate site and doing it manually?

Hi wk,

so to copy / paste text into html page, save it and load it is again a pretty detour. :) Is there a way to load a empty custom html page in browser where I can paste text into and then using that Mozilla translate plugin? Something like a own html page with a field to paste text. I did forget already how to make it with tags xy et so maybe you can post anything I can try out and check whether it would work.

Hi guys,

just have new question about online translation extensions. Normally I'm using DuckDuckGo translation, but I'm looking for a faster solution to translate small text parts etc. Now I found an extension & add on called “Simple Translate”…

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-translate/ibplnjkanclpjokhdolnendpplpjiace

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/simple-translate/

…which looks good so far, but it's using Google Translate API (no registering is needed) and DeepL API you can choose too, but this is total bad because they tell you that you can use it also for free but if you register then you need to fill some credit information etc. Total crap! Also, when using the Google version in text field directly then I get a message about user limit reached, but when clicking on the icon then it does translate the text. No idea what the problem is. Now that I can only use Google Translate API in this extension and add on, I don't know whether it's a good idea using Google Translate or not what I normally circumvent to prevent collecting data about me (ID) what I did translate. What do you think? Or do you have some alternatively extensions and add-ons you can recommend for this task without using Google Translate, possibly?

Thanks wk. Yandex works, but Bing not (nothing comes). Just wonder why there are not more translate services out there. Even when you do use the TTS engine to let the voice speak your text, it will send to G.
