Thread: Translate Foreign Trackers!!!

Hi all. I know a number of people are put off foreign trackers that don't have an English option (or whatever your mother tongue). There is a really simple solution to this.

Install Google Chrome Beta version, http://www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/ it must be the beta so that you can install extensions.
Once installed go to this link https://chrome.google.com/extensions and install Google translator.

This app is really easy to use just click the following button



Once the option has loaded you can pick whatever language you want to translate to (below), click translate wait a few seconds and your done.


HDTracker - Before Translation


After Translation


Its not a perfect translation but its certainly easier than trying to read Russian
It works for most languages ranging from chinese to japanese to french, I hope this helps someone!

due to the fact that this is an english - based site, this would help on the tracker reviews section, as till now, it was kinda hard to understand non-english based trackers.

You could also just use: Google Translate it can translate pages also. So u dont need chrome, chrome beta or a plugin.

hanks a lot. When I used google for translating, after login in the translation was gone!

Regards!

I noticed the same thing with TRU. If I use google to translate, it won't let me log in. The latest DEV build of google chrome has the built in language plugin. You can grab it here:

Early Access Release Channels (The Chromium Projects)

It does work during and after log in, but the one thing I don't like is the fact that you have to click "translate" after every page navigation. Has anyone found a plugin, for any browser, that will do this automatically?

I dont know if I was just lucky but I use the method I showed above, and when Im on a foreign website it automatically translates to english on every page as I navigate around.

Strange, I originally tried your method but I always had to click the "translate" button. Even with the sample you used, HDTracker.ru. Maybe it's an option I'm just missing somewhere. Could also be that I'm still on XP. I'll try my Win7 desktop now.

Your tips definately helped out even though I have to do the extra step. So thanks for the pointers.

Ahh ok I've worked out what the missing step was. If you go to the little wrench, then extensions, click options next to google translate and there is a check box in there to make it translate automatically. Let me know if that works for you.

Ahha, found it. Once you translate the initial page, there is an option to "Always translate language x to language y". Once I clicked this, I don't have to translate every page. Awesome!!!
