Kagi Translate Feedback

Romanization for Russian, Ukrainian, and Greek: The transliterations (romanization) for these languages are shown in Cyrillic/Greek alphabet, respectively. I’m not sure if this is intended but in Google Translate for example, they are always transliterated into Latin letters (when the overall website language is set to English).

TTS is muted when phone is in silent mode: On iOS Safari, if the system is set to silent mode, and not connected to a headphone, the speak text is always muted despite media volume being not set to 0. Again I’m not sure if this is the intended behavior, but usually websites and apps (including most translation apps) that play media seem to only follow the media volume, not the silent mode switch.

randombyte I saw no reply or acknowledgement to my post, so I double-checked and I think the URL might have been wrong in there. Basically trying to translate "www.cna.com.tw" into English, and it (still) just gives a blank white page.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Kagi Translate doesn't currently have the ability to translate web pages that contain JavaScript, so it may take some time.
I understand your frustration - There are too many websites using JavaScript these days.

Kagi Translate is great. I would find it more usable if common languages were more accessible. It'd be easier if I could immediately spot my target language (e.g. Spanish) and tap on it.

Bug: copying multiline translated text with selecting + ctrl-v instead of the copy button strips the newlines. Though this was not the initial translation, I just used autodetect -> english with

Example

Manually selecting the text on the right, and copying with ctrl-c copies

to the clipboard, instead of the expected

translation

Using the dedicated copy button does work as intended, but ctrl-c really should work too. Weirdly, this is only a problem in the translation field, and not in the source field, where both selecting+ctrl-c works as intended.

I initially discovered this on a Norwegian->English translation, and the example I gave here can be reproduced with other languages as the target language as well (verified with danish and korean, because those required the least amount of effort to pick from the list :p)

In case it's relevant: only checked in Firefox 135.0.1 on Linux Mint 22.1

RoxyRoxyRoxy The Text alignment feature is back for Kagi Subscribers with better highlighting color in dark mode
We have also made translation history + the current settings accessible to all users, improved overall translation quality and lowered the opacity of original text while viewing both during website translation.

aminomancer Hey, thanks for the long comment. Here's what we've done:

• Added the token parameter. If you use your Kagi Session token with it, you'll remain logged-in even in private mode.
• Added parameters for the translation settings options. A complete URL could now look like: https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=it&text=This+is+a+test.&style=literal&formality=more&speakerGender=neutral&addresseeGender=neutral&context=context+here&token={your_kagi_session_token}
  We'll document this somewhere soon with all the parameters and their options.
• Fixed the weird behavior you were encountering in private windows, so the error won't show up anymore.

u11a7w We have changed the romanization for those languages and looking into the TTS issue. Thanks!
randombyte Hey, we are aware of this issue and are looking into it.
yuzhe Hey, if I understand correctly what you're trying to say, you can share the translation by simply sharing the URL with someone else. As for the download button, we already have one in the output box. Would you like to see a dedicated button for sharing?
JW This is a weird one, we are looking into it
Marcin We now have a section at the top for the most used languages, thanks for the idea Marcin!
turly This should be fixed, let us know if it ever happens again!
Hanbyeol This should also be fixed
nichu42 and this too
julm We are investigating this.
LunarWatcher aand this should be fixed.
frin Translate's theme and localization will now be pulled from Kagi Search if you are logged in. Your custom css will also be applied if you have it set & enabled.

Phew, thank you all again for the helpful feedback!

RoxyRoxyRoxy Could you try clearing your cookies for translate and seeing if it works then?
Edit: we can reproduce in some conditions, already on it.
