GTranslate alternative is DeepL #239

Open slrslr opened 3 years ago

slrslr commented 3 years ago

Hello, on readme is written this alternative: https://git.sr.ht/~metalune/simplytranslate_web i have not tried it, but i know that in most cases better than GTranslate is DeepL: https://www.deepl.com/translator

You should take this up with SimplyTranslate's maintainers, not here. Also, I wouldn't say that a search of "deepl better than google" is by any means convincing evidence, as the results are of course going to be very biased. I kinda misunderstood, forget this.

I thought that this project is "linking" to SimplyTranslate translator (not sure where is their issue tracker), so i wanted to mention DeepL as an alternative. If you think that this is not possible or good, close this. I have tried to share this with the SimplyTranslate maintainer and linked to this issue.

To be clear, I am not affiliated to Privacy Redirect in any way, so I have no control over the project (that of course means that I can't close this issue), but I AM a main contributor to SimplyTranslate. Do note though that I'm not acting here as a representative of SimplyTranslate or anything; my comments are all my own.

I interpreted your issue as asking for DeepL support in SimplyTranslate; if you meant allowing redirects to DeepL in Privacy Redirect, please ignore this comment.

The issue tracker is at https://todo.sr.ht/~metalune/SimplyTranslate. You can also bring this up on our IRC room; it's #simple-web on libera.chat.

No, this is absolutely possible to add in SimplyTranslate, if that's what you mean.

Again, I apologize if I misunderstood.

Hi @slrslr, I'm happy to accept a PR to add this service as an alternative to SimplyTranslate if someone wants to submit one.
