Translations: read any feed in your language, with one key or automatically

What it does

Not all the sources worth following are in your language, and translations let you read them anyway. Press one key to translate an article in place, with its layout, pictures and links kept, and click once to bring the original back. Inoreader supports more than 50 languages and translates on its own infrastructure, so a translation takes seconds.

You can also have a foreign-language feed translated automatically, so that you can read it without thinking about it. Create a rule with the Translate action, and every new article from a feed, a folder or a monitoring feed is translated as it arrives, up to 100 a day, before you ever open it. If you add a filter, only the articles that matter to you are translated. To act on the translation, add a second rule whose trigger is the first one. Inoreader holds the second rule until the translation is finished, so the email, push notification, summary or webhook it sends carries the translated article.

You also decide when the Translate button appears: always, never, or only for articles in languages you have not marked as ones you read.

How it works

1. Under Preferences, Settings, Article translations, set your preferred language and the languages you read.
2. Open any article in another language and click Translate article, or press Q. Use the same control to switch back.
3. To translate a whole feed, create a rule. Set the feed or folder as the trigger, add conditions if you want only some of its articles, and add the Translate article action. To send the translated text by email or to a webhook, create a second rule that is triggered by this one.
4. Read the translated articles like any others. Search, tags and digests work on them too.
