Description

Bridge request

General information

This bridge is a FeedExpander that translates the title and content of the feed from one language to another. Additionally, parameters could be used to determine which translation service to be used (if multiple are implemented).

  • Host URI for the bridge (i.e. https://github.com): Depends on the translation service (LibreTranslate, Google Translate, and DeepL Translator are some that I found that can translate multiple languages).

  • Which information would you like to see?
    Same as input feed, but with translated title and content. Importantly, outer HTML should not be mangled by the translation.

Options

  • Limit number of returned items
    • Default limit: No Limit
  • Balance requests (RSS-Bridge uses cached versions to reduce bandwith usage)
    • Timeout (default = 5 minutes, max = 24 hours): Cache may have to be implemented to detect if a feed item has been changed before translating it again. This would help keep API usage low for the above translation services. I don't know if FeedExpander does this already.

Research direction

The request describes a FeedExpander that translates feed titles and content, with LibreTranslate, Google Translate, and DeepL listed as possible services. Start by locating the existing FeedExpander and bridge implementations; the issue names no files or tests. Done would preserve outer HTML while translating the requested fields, support service selection, and address item limits and request caching.
