Description

Description:

The Jetpack mobile application currently does not have the option to translate the articles rendered on its app. It would be very practical to include a translation feature for better user experience and accessibility.

Requested here: 6432453-zd-woothemes

Benefits:

  1. Improved user experience
  2. Enhanced accessibility for users who depend on translations
  3. Better engagement with the content

Possible Implementation:

  1. Add an option in the Jetpack mobile app settings to enable/disable translation for articles.
  2. Auto-generate translations based on the article text or utilize third-party translation services for accurate translation.

Research direction

The issue names article rendering and app settings but no files, tests, translation provider, or supported languages. Start by locating the article display entry point and relevant settings, then clarify the translation scope, service, and offline behavior. Done should include an agreed user flow, supported translation behavior, and tests for the resulting experience.
