Hello everyone,

I’ve been visiting the site quite often but haven’t found a need to post anything until today. As the new admin of a forum using the Discourse platform, I’m reaching out for some assistance regarding a request from our members.

Several users have expressed interest in having the ability to translate posts and replies directly within the forum. While Google Chrome allows for text translation by highlighting and right-clicking, many of our members use mobile devices or other browsers that lack this functionality.

Is there a way to implement a translation service within Discourse? Ideally, this would allow users to either highlight a portion of a post or reply, or click a “Translate” button to translate text from English to French (and potentially other languages).

Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
