I wonder if the following feature is possible:
Make it two columns. one column, the left one is the original text. The right column is a paragraph aligned translation, paragraph by paragraph, using Google or Bing or any of those API.
So far I have found no e-reader software capable of doing this.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoOne large mark against building this feature is that machine translation is still largely worthless. I barely see the point. Aligning paragraphs in a translated copy would be more useful from a language learning perspective, though generally something beginners overvalue. Side by side UI also limits you to larger displays unless you will settle for tiny text.
- Shorel 6y ago> Aligning paragraphs in a translated copy would be more useful from a language learning perspective This is exactly the intended use. ANY help when learning a new language is welcome. Also, the translation quality varies a lot between language pairs. Sometimes it is greatly improved just by removing English from the equation.
