In-Browser Translation

iKanban includes a built-in translation feature that lets you translate any page into 15 languages. No API keys or accounts required — it uses Google Translate's free service.

How to Translate

1. Look for the pink translate button (bottom-right corner of any page)
2. Click it — the page translates instantly using your saved language settings
3. Click again to restore the original text

Settings

Hover over the translate button and click the gear icon to open settings:

• Source language — Auto Detect (default) or a specific language
• Target language — choose from 15 supported languages
• Service — Google Translate (only option)
• Always translate this site — auto-translates on every page load
• Hover translate — translate text on hover
• Text selection translation — translate selected text

Supported Languages

English, Indonesian, Deutsch, Francais, Tieng Viet, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Espanol, Portugues, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Bahasa Melayu

Show / Hide the Translate Button

Go to Settings > Translation to toggle the floating translate button on or off.

How It Works

The translation happens entirely in your browser:

1. The engine walks the DOM tree collecting visible text nodes
2. Text is batched and sent to translate.googleapis.com (Google's free endpoint)
3. Translated text replaces the original in the DOM
4. Original text is stored in data-translate-original attributes for restoration

No data is sent to iKanban's servers — translations go directly from your browser to Google.

No API Key Required

Unlike AI features which need provider keys, translation works out of the box for all users on any plan. The gtx client used is Google's free tier with no authentication.
