Describe the feature you want

It would be nice to have translation support in the app. Youtube, SoundCloud and other platforms supported by NewPipe are host to a wide variety of international audiences. Adding support for translation would help it make easier to overcome the linguistic barrier.

Of course, one can just copy the comment and translate it in the browser, bht that's tedious. I could also create a tasker profile with a scene and everything, but that's more of a hack.

Some ideas:

• We could use DeepL/Google Translate/some other translation provider for this. I think most people would agree with the former.
• I think ideally any text fetched remotely should have an option to be translated. Long-press -> context menu -> Translate.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Yes, I want to translate comments within the app, but no way to do it.

Additional context

Not my cat, but hope it counts ;)

A huge thanks for all the contributors, NewPipe is a really amazing app.

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

Approximately 15 less clicks, and a minute saved, all while watching the video.

I would suggest https://github.com/TheDavidDelta/lingva-translate as a service

@ChunkyProgrammer just to prevent any misunderstanding, Lingva Translate just scrapes Google Translate for its own results.

@dennis90a :
youtube in its app has implemented such a service that on comments that are not in the language of the predetermined app the possibility of being able to translate the comment.

To be able to implement it here, too, would be great.

Closing as now YouTube has audio and subtitles translated in various languages for many videos. Doing something like this in NewPipe is probably out of scope, but a workaround is to long press on comments and share the text to a translator app.
