Translation of posts

[DigPeter]

With my sketchy knowledge of German, I sometimes see a post that might be of interest.  I think that there was once a means of translating, but cannot now find it.

i use Google Translater for English to German. There is also German to English.

See example for my situation.

I use

https://www.deepl.com/de/translator

This is from my point of view the best translater.

You can copy-paste some text there.

But of course, if I read a whole website, like cnn.com or so then I use also the way, HaWo described.
If you use Chrome, then the possibility to translate it direct with the right mouse-click and choose there, but this offers e.g. firefox not, I think.

Chrome and Edge have built-in translation tools, for Firefox you need an extension, see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/

Something in Chrome did change recently. Before (I assume because of some setting/change I had made), German posts were being automatically translated into English. Now I have to right-click on the page and choose to translate. Not a big deal, but slightly less convenient.

Maybe Chrome wants you to get to know the language better 
Because this way you can first think about whether you understand it and then check whether you were good at translating.

By the way, of course I didn't mean that seriously, my lines ... but in principle, IF you want to understand the language a little better, then this definitely helps.
When I watch an English film, I sometimes try to understand it without subtitles. If that doesn't work, I fade in the English text and if that doesn't help either, well, then the German translation.
