How to translate Adventure lab caches

[+arisoft]

While exploring a new ALC, which was written in a local language, I noticed that I can not copy the text to any translator app nor I could find a "translate" button. Instead, I must take a screenshot and use OCR to translate the text. I find this quite difficult to do on-field. Do I have better options?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve passed this to the team working on Adventure Labs.

Would be brilliant if there was a button to press so can translate from local language into English.

If the app would have enough room to add text in multiple languages, would help too. The 1000-character limit hardly allows for that. Making the text selectable would be very useful too.

Exactly what I mean too. Here in Switzerland, I wanted create an Adventure Lab in 3 languages. (it s a multilingual country). But The caracters limitations make that very very difficult, and sadly i had do do descriptions only in 1 language.

I also had to keep my descriptions short because I used two different languages. Sometimes I had to leave out important information in one of the languages because of the extremely limited character limit.

Just to add: making the text selectable would be very useful too. As the text can then be translated in i.e. Google Translate. If you'd want to do that now, it would involve typing all of the text in another app or web page yourself.

does anyone know if one can translate using the adventure lab app been updated?  Heading to Sweden and so far all of the lab caches I have looked at is in Dutch.  Need to be able to translate them with out having to retype everything.

Swedish LabCaches are most often created using swedish/english language. Dutch is the language spoken in the Netherlands.

Double tap the text in question. Then select "Google translate".
