Clicking on the words launches new tabs/windows into Google for translation. Very annoying.
sending me to Google as a search link is super annoying. Some words (e.g., war, Tag, um) are not only in German, so the translations can be confusing.
Translation can be done prior to displaying the story, and make the words appear as hover boxes, and even provide more language context.
The example story is asking me to log in and subscribe to get a full demo. A demonstration in my mind supposed to demonstrate how the system works prior to commitment.
I am unable to provide you free QC/QA because I would have to give you my email.
- fersarr 3y agoI have just improved the word translation so that it doesn't send you to Google as the first option. Let me know what you think :)
- Y_Y 4y agoI had exactly the same thought about the new tab. Kindles and OSX devices (among others) can already give an intrusive popup with a translation or definition. I'm an intermediate German speaker and even to me the language in the example story felt weird. I'm totally into the idea, and if the usability was better I'd probably use the site despite the non-idiomatic text.
- fersarr 4y agoThanks @WaitWaitWha and @y_y! I definitely want to improve that and have the translations on the same page! Hopefully very soon :) thanks for trying it out.
