>>>Uebersetzung / 翻訳 / vertaling / traduction / traducción
In the menu at top right click “Uebersetzung / 翻訳 / vertaling / traduction / traducción”. This leads to the Duck.AI homepage which does not track anything about the users; no login required. I changed to this AI because privacy is their main feature and they translate text of at least 2500 words fully free.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Select and copy all of the narration you want to translate incl. pictures.
2. Click the translation link on the top right menu.
3. When the DuckAI is open, just type “translation into xxxx”, where xxxx is your preferred language.
4. Press SHIFT + ENTER and paste the text into the next line
5. Press ENTER, scroll down, and the translation into your language shows up.
6. Going back to this homepage, use the BACK button of your browser.
DuckAI works in any browser even the most spying ones and protects you from being spied on.
