    And even with google-translate, we get some garbled text. Just for fun, I took your last post, translated it to spanish, then back to english:

    As it turns out, Seamonkey has a built-in “translation Translate” tool. Run the page through Google-Translate and displays the results in the browser, much like Chromium. However, I can only use it if I turn out to Noscript and when I do that, the CPU is a 100% all the time while on the translated page. If you turn to Noscript, retrieve the CPU, but the translation goes.

    Then, in old 32-bit machines, built-in translation feature browser will not work. However, if you simply open another tab and copy and paste a Google-Translate with NoScript, it works well translate. But you must copy the translation into another document such as a text file FeatherPad or Geany. You can not see the translated page in the browser. But not stick the CPU. You can continue to use the browser to view the page in the original language and then use the Geany text file to read in English and prepare your answers. Then copy and paste back to the forum via the browser. It is clunky, but it works.

    There is a command line program called Translate Shell also uses Google Translate to translate text-. I have not figured out how to use it on a website, but no instructions to do so and try to solve it. Presumably, I can open the results in the browser and still keep the CPU to go to 100%.

    In any case, this is one of those jobs browser (translation) that really can not do well on an old computer. It is much like trying to use Google Docs. It’s not exactly impossible, but it really is not a task that can be handled with most 32-bit processors with less than 2 GB or RAM. And it’s not really a problem with RAM anyway, is the lack of processing power in the CPU 32-bit single core. Try to make the beautiful translation guide will not work.

    But if all you have is an old 32-bit machine, you can learn to make the translation work using a procedure that slightly clunky GUI GUI. Copy and paste local files and text can do the job. You just need to be patient.

    I keep trying to find a better way. But for now, the suggestion Christophe is the best we can do: two tabs, one for the forum and for Google-Translate. Then copy and paste with a local editor such as Geany or FeatherPad, etc.

    I must say that I appreciate the efforts of others @Marcelocripe and pre-translate publications. If it were not so motivated, simply skip non-English subjects. But I get that this is an international effort and most people have more powerful tools at their disposal than an old Pentium 4.

    Mostly understandable. So, it’s definitely worthwhile, I think, even when we have to trust the computer to translate.
