Currently when you click the "speaker" icon to listen to the translation multiple times, the TTS is generated again every time

I would like to have setting (doesn't have to be tho, if everyone wants this) to toggle caching (server side or just browser cache) for the TTS, so Kagi could save resources, if user wants to listen to the same TTS multiple times

  • Have "Cache TTS for x minutes" toggle in the settings
    • Note: You can also make this not a setting, but always enabled for all users
  • When enabled, and user clicks the "speaker" icon to listen to the translation multiple times. The TTS is not generated again, instead the same TTS is played every time
  • When disabled, and user clicks the "speaker" icon to listen to the translation multiple times. The TTS is generated again every time (like it currently works)

      It instead displays a completely blank page. Opening a weibo link usually leads to some authorization redirect so the translate website bookmarklet/function doesn't work.

      I expect it to give some pop up in the above image that it doesn't translate these type of sites.

      There should be a better rorr message for failing to translate a web page.

      Or at the very least put a notice on the kagi.translate website itself

            I would like to have toggle for the new "translate as you type" feature as I don't really need it and would like to save Kagi's resources

            This could be simple toggle in the Translate page for logged in users or in the http://kagi.com/settings page

              I very much agree. I don't see any benefit personally for this feature (BY WHICH I MEAN: I'm glad it's there for the people who want to use it.) But for me, it'd like to be able to turn it off.

              Either via a toggle on the translate page itself or via the settings page

              Honestly I've found the animation it does each time it refreshes the text to be very annoying. So even just for that it'd want to disable it

                Hello.
                I am using kagi translate, but the translation stops halfway through.
                After redoing the translation several times, the translation of the whole text is completed.
                I would appreciate it if you could correct the problem.
                Thank you very much.

                  Hi, when I try to translate the page https://www.xinmedia.com/article/114640, I get the error

                  Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

                  macOS 15.2, Safari 18.2

                  Regression:

                  • Same error with and without content blockers

                  • Same error in Orion 0.99.130.1-beta (macOS)

                  • Google Translate succeeds

                  • Safari macOS built-in translation succeeds

                    Thanks!

                    For example when I translate the word "wife" in Latin, I get "uxor" which is correct
                    But when I type "the wife's son", I get "filius uxoris" it misses the vowels's length that changed because the grammatical case (it should be fīlius uxōris)

                    I know it's a minor thing, but it would be nice to have at least an option to show the correct orthography

                        DeoConfidimus We have not optimized for latin at this point as there is not a lot of interest to justify the investment, but we can certainly do so in the future.

                          pivic This should be fixed as both use the same API now.

                              Something I just found out is that Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal) have the exact same Brazilian pronunciation when tapping the TTS button

                                Would it be possible to register Kagi Translate as a translation provider on Android so it can be used from apps that recognize those? DeepL's Android app for example is set up this way.

                                Sorry if this was suggested already, a big fat thread with elements that aren't loading if they're not in the viewport doesn't make searching all that easy.

                                @Vlad in general I 💚 Kagi translate, but the last two days it seems to have stopped working altogether. Just endless crawling-three-dots where the translation should appear. Doesn't seem to matter what platform or browser I'm using (data points: Orion and Firefox and Safari in MacOS, Orion in iOS), nor which languages I'm trying to use. What happened? Did someone knock the translate server plug out from the wall?
