Kagi Translate Feedback

I see that "Slovenian" is on the list twice. The first one has language code "ls" which is wrong. The correct one is "sl". The "ls" is an invalid ISO language code, it does not exist.

Feature suggestion:
keep a dictionary in localstorage that remembers certain translations and prioritizes them, deepl does this quite nicely.

Giorgio Sweet but seems a little buggy, at least on the sample I tried.

В город приходит вечер should just correspond to Evening comes to the city

Again here, Я зажигаю свечи should just correspond to I light the candles

The second line doesn't activate Text Alignment at all.

There's a few bugs with editing too, once Word Insights is finished loading I'm incapable of editing the text (incl. deleting it) and the page must be reloaded. On longer text (that doesn't trigger Word Insights) sometimes clicking and dragging on the source text seems to treat it as an image/object? It doesn't highlight and instead drags sections of the text.

Finally very minor nitpick but I feel like the Text Alignment highlight color doesn't quite have enough contrast against the grey background, it's kinda hard to see depending on the lighting conditions.

Is there a token parameter? With regular kagi search I'm able to create an OpenSearch engine that works in private browsing (incognito) mode, by including my API token in the URL search params. It's great for one-off search engines in firefox. I also have an OpenSearch engine for Google Translate.

But when I try to do that for Kagi Translate, it's a little buggy in private browsing mode. First, red text appears saying "An error occurred during translation," and a Cloudflare widget appears temporarily that says "Verifying." And it doesn't translate my query until I hit "translate" button.

If, before using Kagi Translate in that private browsing window, I first use regular Kagi Search with my engine (which passes it my API token), everything works fine, and it knows who I am, and remembers my preferences. But it won't let me pass the token directly to Kagi Translate, so basically I have to use regular Kagi Search in that window before I can use Kagi Translate.

Not the end of the world, but it would be good to implement a token parameter. Maybe it already exists and it just has a different name. Nonetheless, are the search parameters documented anywhere? I would like to make sure my OpenSearch engine is exhaustive.

This would allow us to open Kagi Translate with a URL like https://translate.kagi.com/?token={api_token}&text=%s and have it log us in automatically, like Kagi Search does. Then it works just as well in private browsing/incognito mode.

Thank you. The translate widget is awesome btw. Much richer than Google Translate, in this respect. Word insights and the overall ML use are impressive. I love the extra options like translation style, context, etc. I hope these all get search parameters, and be documented so we can use them in automations, like one-off search engines. Rather than having to manually click each time (if for example we want to get formal translations by default).

Hi there,

The french pronunciation of « sourcil » is wrong, it sound like « surcil », that's funny but wrong.
https://translate.kagi.com/?from=auto&to=zh_cn&text=sourcil
See for instance https://www.google.com/search?channel=entpr&q=translate+sourcil for a correct pronunciation.

Would it be possible to add in OCR translation? Ex. I have an image with Russian text -> upload it to Kagi translate -> image is OCR'd and Russian text is output and translated? Would love this feature as of now I have to either use my phone or upload the image to another site, often with rate limits or dubious privacy.

RoxyRoxyRoxy In progress, expect very soon!

In the translation results on the webpage, can you consider adding download and sharing functions?

Hi, I'm really enjoying Kagi Translate! I'm running into an issue though. I'm struggling to translate the English word "rapport" into Simplified Chinese. In English, the word means "a relationship of mutual understanding or trust and agreement between people". However, Kagi Translate keeps trying to translate it as "report" instead.

I've tried adding "not report" as context, but that didn't help.

Very impressive, especially the audio.
However, your Catalan timekeeping doesn't seem to be right. "Un quart de vuit" is 7:15, not 7:45 like you suggest.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_time_system

Hanbyeol Thank you for the reply. I thought it made sense for a minute, but if I load one of their news articles (e.g. www.cna.com.tw/news/asoc/202503040325.aspx) with JavaScript disabled in my Orion browser, it renders fine. It doesn't seem to need JavaScript.

But if I try to translate that page (https://translate.kagi.com/translate/Chinese/en/www.cna.com.tw/news/asoc/202503040325.aspx), it still just yields a blank white page.

Ugh, apologies for the wrong guess.

I was also looking for sites from Taiwan and found a new bug.
It doesn't seem to automatically show a link to the website translator when I enter an IP address.

e.g.
https://101.101.101.101/index.html

Kagi translates UK to "Großbritannien" in German every time, which is incorrect.
Great Britain = Großbritannien
UK = Vereinigtes Königreich
