The bug of translating a website page to a foreign language

[Marxxx]

Hello friends. Perhaps I found a bug in the browser.

There is a very convenient function of translating a page from a foreign language into my language. But it does not work.

I will try to explain in more detail. If you press the right mouse button, a special menu appears. In the menu there is an item “Translate to”. If you select this item nothing happens.

I tried a lot. I reinstalled the browser. I used a portable browser version. I installed the browser on another computer. This feature does not work.

Version 0.60.48 Chromium: 72.0.3626.121 (Official build), (64 bits) (Windows 7 64 bits). It does not work.

Version 0.62.25 Chromium: 73.0.3683.67 (Official build), (64 bit). Portable version. (Windows 7 64 bit). It does not work.

Version 0.60.48 Chromium: 72.0.3626.121 (Official build), (64 bit) (Windows 10 64 bit). It does not work.

Version 0.62.25 Chromium: 73.0.3683.67 (Official build), (64 bit). Portable version. (Windows 10 64 bit). It does not work.

Perhaps the problem is in my language. I try to translate from English to Russian and from Chinese to Russian.

I made a screenshot to make it clear what function I’m talking about.

@Marxxx that’s expected. Those feature not yet fully implemented. Logged issue https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/208

Also, I’m not sure from where that you get the ‘portable’ version. Because Brave is not have portable version.

There’s a possible workaround using an extension.

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.

I struck that last phrase through because I’m not sure it’s warranted.
