Kinda a tall request but here we go. I think it would be super helpful to possibly have a built in translator and transcript inside of projects I think it would be very helpful for our hard or hearing individuals and our friends who can only speak one language. There are so many featured projects and studios that only accommodate to English speakers, I dont know how one would do this but I was thinking like a youtube subtitles type of thing.



Thanks-Pinkshephenry

IF a user want to implement this they can–not everything can be premade.
Most projects don't have voice sound, would an ST member have to go through and edit all the English (or other language) text.

Most browsers come with translate extensions, and they work alright. They translate the main point but a lot of detail is sacrificed. What they actually want is some way to automatically translate projects, which is impossible. I won't use any flowery adjectives like “pretty much” or “nearly” because it's impossible right now.

If a user can't speak english, they can comment below:
Puis-je obtenir une version française s'il vous plaît?
And if the person sees that, or another person sees it and is kind enough to remix and make a french version, then they can use that .
If not, then that is very unfortunate… but there are also translaters (e.g. Google Translate) out there as well.

I suppose;However, Say somebody was making a project on a serious topic It would be totally diminished by choppy words.

Yeah, browsers have this built-in so there is no point to do this.

It works fine for me.
I use it alot when going to different language pages, and I can understand almost everything perfectly fine.

Once the Animated Text extension is out, you can just use both and translate and animated text extensions to translate the whole project:
Show text (Translate [Welcome to my project!] to (Language)::pen)::pen
ugh, why can't they support Scratch 3 blocks already?

For the Scratch website to translate the text in costumes is impossible.
Plus the change language button translates everything else on the site except text shown on the stage and comments.

No-Support.
