What are article translations?

Article translations turn an article's title and text into your language inside Inoreader. Open the article and click the Translate article button or press Q, and the text changes in place, with a bar above it that names the language it was translated from.

Translate an article

The button is in the open article's button row. While the translation runs, the text shows "Translating...", and then the title and the text appear in your language with the bar "Translated from French by Inoreader." above them. Pictures, videos, embeds and code blocks stay where they were. The source language is detected automatically, and the target is the language set under Translate articles to in Preferences > Settings > Article translations, your interface language by default. How do I translate an article? has the steps, and the video shows them.

Switch back and keep translations

Click See original in the bar, click the button again or press Q again to bring the original back. The feed's article itself never changes: a translation is your personal version of it. On Pro that version is kept, so the article opens translated whenever you return to it until you switch back. Can I control when article translations are offered? explains the settings that decide which articles get the button.

Translate automatically

On Pro, a rule with the action Translate article translates every new article that matches it as it arrives, up to 100 articles a day, or 1,000 on Team Intelligence plans. Can translations be automated? describes the rule.

Translations run on Inoreader's own servers, not on a third-party service.

Plans and limits

Free accounts get 10 translations a day. The bar counts them down with "9 translations left today." and the translation isn't kept. Pro has no daily limit on translating by hand, keeps every translation with the article and can translate with rules. The feature page Read any feed in your language has an overview.
