What @eljuno says. However, I needed a break, so I tried a few things in Brave main release 0.60.47 Chromium: 72.0.3626.119 (Official Build) (64-bit) MacOS 10.14.3 and Windows 10 10.0.17763 Build 17763, and in Brave Dev 0.62.16 Chromium: 73.0.3683.39 (Official Build) dev (64-bit) MacOS 10.14.3, all with Shields On. Plain old translation works fine in all of those, but I don’t think that’s what @bUser means.
What I gather from @bUser is that he/she is trying to use the Translate web page to then translate a foreign language web site. For example, I tried doing that by going to translate.google.com, setting translate from Spanish to English, typing Univisión’s address, and clicking the resulting link. In all three browsers, the English pops up briefly, but is then replaced with the original text thus:
Same thing happens with Shields Off no matter what language I specify for it to translate to, so I confirm @bUser’s issue. I’m guessing it’s because it’s Google as a third party, but my KungFu is weak in this regard.
As a workaround, installing the Google Translate extension gets around the issue. Yes, you have to click a button or two when you get to the website you want translated, and God only knows what the extension is really reporting home, but it works without turning shields off and probably is no worse than turning Shields Off [[same idea re. Google Extensions Use hopefully to be discussed at Using GOOGLE Extensions & privacy]].
