Hi Comfy.n,

I've been thoroughly analyzing your plugin's i18n.py file, and I have to say it's a work of art. The way you handle script overrides and how you patch Calibre's translation cache is, frankly, next level.
Precisely because you already have such a robust infrastructure for detecting the user's language, I wanted to ask: Have you considered implementing automatic translation of the articles (feeds)?
The idea would be that, in the same way the plugin adapts the interface to Calibre's language, it could translate the feed content (for example, from Japanese to the user's configured language) in the InoReader style.
Considering your current architecture, I think the workflow could be integrated naturally:
Detection: Use the logic you already have in i18n.py to identify the target language.
Injection: Integrate it into rss.py (during the fetch) or article_fetch.py (before rendering the HTML).
Display: The PreviewBrowser should display the translated content, maintaining the polished formatting you've achieved.
I know managing external APIs and quotas is challenging, but seeing how you've mastered Calibre's language system, I think you're the perfect person to make it work!
What do you think of the idea? Would it be on your roadmap for future versions?

Best regards, and thanks for this great plugin.

Amazing request, @dunhill.

I believe that is achievable, as you said, but I am not sure. What makes me believe it is achievable is the GR Author Notes plugin on-the-fly translation feature...

You're right, it could work!
You're on top of everything!
