The extension called « Translate Text » will show to the audience a button to translate the text of any content- [Contents: every content intended as text, images, audio or video] - where this extension is activated; we have done a great and incessant work over time to prepare the systems to use our translator including artificial intelligence to translate texts dynamically and in real time; we do not use a translator belonging to third parties and the data is not shared with any third party service. Thanks to the open source codes of « argosopentech » and the machine translator « Argos-Translate » and the OpenMNT we’ve builded our own translator engine as a command line software- [Program/Software: the instructions that control what a computer does; computer programs] - (free and open source https://github.com/terryyin/translate-python) available via web at our platform- [Platform: the set of the main domain and all the subdomain of a particular website; also the computer architecture and equipment using a particular operating system] - that supports over 100 different languages in a pure automatic and dynamic machine-translation.
This extension is considered in beta-testing for the next 3 months and available for everyone; minor and major updates will be applied to improve functionalities
