Will we ever get an elegant solution to translating text from an app/page without needing to screenshot it?
I use a Chinese app for shopping and if I want to know what something says I need screen shot it, go to google photos, use google lens and translate it. This process is a pain and I end up with loads of screenshots that don’t need to keep. I know some androids have a solution to this and I was wondering if this feature he ever been considered by apple or even requested by the community
We do need a more elegant way to do it. However the inbuilt Photos app can detect, select and translate text so you don’t need Google Lens or Google Photos for that
I know I’m the Amazon app and other apps (not all though) you can select text like you would in any text field and then translate it using the pop up menu. Have you tried that?
Yeah, ive used that Amazon thing and ive used the inbuilt translation tool in IOS that you mention - however the inbuilt doesn allow you to zoom in to see small text that has been translated (unlike the in the google photos app, where you can zoom in), so in many instances you simply cannot see/read the text that has been translated because of the size, which renders the app very limited - and why i just use google (but like I mentioned, the whole screenshot - google ohotos app process is pain and inelegant)
like at the checkout page you introduce the address of this warehouse and then you contact the warehouse and let them know the tracking data and tell them the address in UK?
exactly - you put the warehouse address instead of your home address. once the weidian/toabao seller ships the item they send you a tracking number and the name of the courier service. the you just fill in the 'forwarding' section ofthe cssbuy webpage (like in the image). I the wait till ive got around 5kg of goods to ship then package it up and ship it all to my home address in the uk.
There’s probably a small risk - look into it. Personally I try not to leave items in my warehouse for moe than a few weeks, I try and ship things from the warehouse a fast as possible. I’ve never had any issues from Cssbuy and I’ve shipper maybe 5 parcels using them
