+rragan Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 It's frustrating that text cannot be selected in an AL. It would make translation easy (at least in ios, nos sure about Android). When text is selected, Translate is one of the options. It sure would make international labs more easily doable. 1 Quote Link to comment

I can select the text in Android, but if I want to translate it then I copy it to the translating site. Quote Link to comment

If you have the Google Translate app installed, the copy/paste pop-up will include a translate option... you don't need to copy it to the website. Quote Link to comment

Yes, I can copy the text and paste it into the translate app as you say. I was hoping to allow text selection because then more options (including Translate) become available on iOS. Not sure if Android offers this on selected text. Making links live in AL text so you can click on them would be be great further refinement. Quote Link to comment

Select text, then a translate option is available without having to copy paste. Quote Link to comment
