      It seems I was wrong that Chromium and Chrome has a “built-in” translation tool. I noticed that when I was on the MX forum with Chrome I could get the translation simply by clicking the translation button on the top menu. But on the antiX forum site there is nothing. I guess it is web-site based and not built in to the browser like I thought. It will require an extension like mentioned by Robin. Which is fine for my more powerful machines but not on my old 32-bit machines.

      SeaMonkey, on the other hand, does have the translation tool built in.

        I noticed when I use the Translate tool from the menu in SeaMonkey I get a banner across the top of the forum for Google Translate. This banner also shows on the MX forum when I click on the Translate button/drop down. The same banner shows when I use the http://www.ipvoid.com site.

        Apparently this is type of plugin for the Google Translate site? So, while there does not seem to a built-in translate tool in Chrome the result is the same if I use either the ipvoid link or the button on the MX site. No such “button” is on the antiX site but I get the same result with a few more clicks.

          So, now I am wondering what happens if I am reading a forum page that was originally in Italian or Portuguese and I then type in a reply in English and hit submit. If that banner for Google Translate is on the screen will it automatically translate my English reply to Italian if that was the original language on the page?

          Sorry to be so dense. I’m still trying to figure out how to best handle this. I don’t want to enter a reply in English if the original post is in another language. I’m just trying to figure out if this translation is “automatic” in some cases or if I must use the copy and paste between tabs to get my reply into the correct language. It’s still unclear to me.
