cnp09 Can replicate using the aforementioned Finnish version of the Navy seal copypasta. Interestingly this only seems to trigger with some languages, ex. translating the Engligh Navy seal copypasta from English to Finnish gives an error, yet translating it from English to Russian works fine. Either way definitely an issue.

    I've realized that the German pronounciation of "Kanban" was wrong: It sounded like "banban", while it should be like the Japanese one, with a K in the beginning: https://translate.kagi.com/?text=kanban. But then, when I chose German "Kanban" to Polish "kanban", the German word suddenly was pronunced correctly. But as soon as I switch (Polish on the left, German on the right), the German proncounciation suddenly is ony "Ban". I also realized that the Polish pronounciation differs, depending on whether it "is on the left" (= source language) or the right (= target): It either sounds like "Nkanban" or "kanban". I'm using the latest Firefox on a WIndows machine, in case that's of importance here.

    So, in summary: a) The pronounciation of words is inconsistent, sometimes wrong and seems to depend on whether its source or target language as well as if the word is written with a capital letter or not. b) "kanban" makes a strong candidate for semantic oversaturation experience very quickly. 🤣

      Is there a fix for the following happening when using Kagi translate in Safari?

        I'm genuinely curious, where is the tts from? It's really good

          Hey cmdress, does this still happen if Grammarly is disabled? Does this happen every time or just occasionally?

            Would love to be able to translate to formal/informal speech (du/Sie forms in German, for example)

              BenH Wow! That did it. Works with Grammarly disabled. Thank you but is there a workaround without disabling or no? DISREGARD! I figured it out. disabled Grammarly for Kagi translate website only

                When I translate into Cantonese, the Cantonese text is transliterated with Mandarin pinyin below, instead of jyutping.

                  Right now I need to copy / paste into an assistance window, wasting precious tokens.
                  Maybe we can have "German (Sie)" and "German (du)" as an option?

                    xorgy Hey, we have switched to Jyutping for Cantonese. Let us know if you have further feedback about this.

                      nichu42 asdasd We are looking into this 🙂

                      jstask Could you provide one/two screenshots of the parts that do not translate please?

                        You can now personalize your translations using this new button, if you are logged in to a paid Kagi account.
                        This should address what @nichu42 and @asdasd wanted, plus more 🙂

                        Let us know if you would like to see something else in these settings in addition to what is already there.
                        Happy translating!

                          I really love the context menu and the other settings you have placed there! I just noticed a small thing that could be fixed: when typing in the context, if you're too slow, the AI starts putting the context into effect, and the focus switches over to the translation rather than the context bar. This means that if I want to keep typing in the context bar, I have to click it again.

                          I'm having a lot of fun typing in keywords, actual context scenarios, and telling the AI in what style I want the translation, and it actually works. Good job, Kagi Team!

                            Changed it so now it does not apply until you actually defocus the context input box. Thanks!

                              Giorgio That's amazing! Thank you so much. There is one more setting I'd like to suggest: In German, it is also common to use a "gender star" (asterisk) in gender-neutral language, to include non-binary people. Kagi Translate can now actually do this if I ask for it in the context window. But it would be handy to have a direct setting for it.

                                nichu42 In the gender preferences the 'neutral' option was supposed to be exactly for this - but maybe it's not working as expected.

                                Could you provide a couple of sentences in English, and what would be a correct German translation in a gender-neutral version? That would help troubleshooting, thanks!

                                  Giorgio I think it already gets clear with this very short example:

                                  English: Dear bus drivers

                                  Kagi's default translation: Liebe Busfahrerinnen und Busfahrer
                                  This is already a gender-neutral translation and I think it's good that Kagi defaults to this.
                                  The standard-German (non-gender neutral) translation is the masculine form: Liebe Busfahrer
                                  Nothing changes if I switch to "neutral".

                                  What I am proposing is to add the inclusive gender-neutral form. I can get this if I enter "Use gendar stars" in the context setting. However, the result from Kagi is Liebe*r Busfahrer*in, which is the singular form. It should show Liebe Busfahrer*innen as the English source is plural.
