Recently I figured out that there's a small "google" icon on the bottom right of the site when visiting a mod. This one is really helpful as visitors & members don't have to open Google Translate in order to translate the contents of the site. However, I figured out a minus on this feature, compared to the translation when directly using "Google Translate". When using translation feature here in this site, the translated words only apply on the general language of this site (English), so if there's chinese or spanish language mixed on the contents, the chinese or spanish language isn't translated into English & still remains as chinese or spanish one. When using this site's auto translation, there's no "From" like what in "Google Translate" site, although it basically uses the same translation source (Google Translate). Example: like this one screenshot below.On that screenshot, I visited a campaign mod that some users & even the campaign description use chinese language more often than english. When I set the "From" to "Chinese" like that (one that I marked with red box), all the chinese words on the site were translated into English, but the English words remained the same. Probably it's just a suggestion to update/ improve the auto translation feature existing in this site. If it's possible, make it similar to when directly visiting "Google Translate" that has the "From" feature to translate specific languages except English. This update could be helpful for members or visitors, as they will be able to translate specific language besides english if there's any (like the example I put above). If not possible, maybe redirecting to the Google Translate main site would be also helpful, as the Google Translate main site has that "From" feature, that can translate only specific language in certain site. Also, if it's possible, the location of the auto translation feature needs to be changed. When it's on the bottom right like that, it would be difficult to click when the comment section of a mod keeps updating the content. Probably moving it to somewhere else other than the bottom would be better. Well, I think that's all I wanted to say. I'm looking forward to more cool updates on beta site.
Ok, I have to ask. Do you still use Windows 7 or is this custom theme for Windows 10?
@greenhood: my laptop is still windows 7 (just old laptop of mine that I still use to browse), & that's just a classic custom theme. Btw does that affect the result on the auto translation feature?
No, it doesn't.

Hello kurochama, We are contemplating options to improve the translation features on the site. There are various API's (free and paid) that are available to provide language translations on-demand. We briefly looked into this and now we're waiting until the appropriate time to execute the plan. It's good to know there is a demand for the feature. Appreciate the feedback! Regards
Great. I'm looking forward to the update of this feature. Thanks for the response.
