Translator on scratch

You might see see people typing in a different language. I think it would be nice if you could understand them. And it could help you lean their language.

Re: Translator on scratch

Well for web translators you have to copy and paste. On my idea you dont. I dont wish to disturb web translators.

Re: Translator on scratch

There is no way of doing that. First of all, translators generate pure engrish. Second thing, even if Scratch would use Google translator, it can't translate projects. Another thing, if Scratch would use its own translator, think about how laggy the site would become. So no. I don't think it's a good idea.

Re: Translator on scratch

Translator programs do a very bad job at translating, sorry.
